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.

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

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. |

[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 |
