David Bowie and Paul Buckmaster, 1975, by Brad Elterman. They’d been working on the soundtrack to The Man Who Fell To Earth, for which Buckmaster played cello, arranged, composed, and produced, although it wasn’t used in the final version of the film.

Here’s Brad’s telling of the tale: Even though I was in my teens, I wanted to photograph David Bowie in concert, but my request was denied by the PR at the record company. Bowie and his management were very protective of his image, something rare back in the ‘70s.

A few weeks later I get a call from a pal that Bowie is back in town and recording nightly at Cherokee Recording Studios on Fairfax Avenue. I cut school and got there before the sun came up in the early morning. Right after the sun rose from the east, Bowie emerged from the studio holding the tapes. He was followed by his producer, Paul Buckmaster. I had never in my life performed a paparazzi photo, and it was an incredible rush as I walked with him for about 30 seconds documenting the moment. He was so beautifully styled with the cap, red sweater and the cigarette hanging from his face. He said two words to me, “Good morning,” and that was it and he was gone. I never saw him again.
