Don Connolly's David Bowie Pictures

 

In 2019, BDU was contacted by John Patterson - a colleague of Don Connolly who worked on the 1983 David Bowie videos in Australia.

Don took the following pics.

 

 

 

John Patterson (2019):
 

These photos were taken during the shooting of the 'Lets Dance' and 'China Girl' clips by the sound recordist Don Connolly (now deceased).

 

John Patterson (2019):
 

 

Don Connolly gave [the photos] to me after returning to Sydney to go some small way to making up for the fact that I had been unable to accompany him as his assistant on the shoot.

 

 

John Patterson (2019):
 

[The photos were] a minor compensation, however I have been the proud owner of four unknown Bowie photos since that time and Bowie Downunder seems an appropriate repository to facilitate a wider appreciation of them. Love the website, All the best, John Patterson - Life Long Bowie fan
