ديفيد بوي، ألادين سين، عيون مفتوحة، ورقة اتصال، لندن، 1973

Seeing those nine outtakes side by side really brings the session to life—you can almost feel the energy between Bowie and the camera. The paper quality is solid too, with crisp details that make the black-and-white tones pop. This one’s going straight into a frame.

I hung this next to my desk and I keep catching myself staring at it instead of working. The grain on the paper feels like a real darkroom print, and seeing all nine outtakes together makes you appreciate how much thought went into that one iconic shot.

The nine outtakes on this contact sheet feel like a private peek into that second Bowie session, and the print quality is sharp enough to appreciate every frame. It arrived well-packaged and looks stunning on my wall.
