My lovely sister-in-law sent me a link to Bowiebranchia, the most incredible Tumblr site, this week. As someone who is both a Bowie fan and a former scuba diving instructor, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The site is packed with photos that pair a David Bowie shot with a nudibranch, highly coloured sea creatures I like to think of as the Christmas tree decorations of the deep. They are truly extraordinary. Underwater photography is a highly specialised art, in itself. All my efforts ever yielded were a fuzzy blue thing in a fuzzy blue place.
It was so hard to choose which one to include here. In the end, I had to go with the Ziggy Stardust album cover. Why not have a look at the site and let me know which one you like best?
“I don’t see any boundaries between any of the art forms. I think they all inter-relate completely.”
David Bowie
There’s more for Bowie fans in my free introductory novella For Those About to Rock, and my debut novel Rockstar Ending. Free playlists for both books on Spofity.
