David Bowie will live forever in the memories of his greatest fans but one of the sites associated with his greatest early success has changed in only 46 years. It was in 1972 that 23 Heddon Street, W1 was used for the cover photograph of Bowie's album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars'. I visited it today as documented in the preceding pictures. As I played with successive edits of the original photograph, I noticed that with increases in contrast the wall became brighter. Perhaps when we fade, as we all shall, we shall also shine more brightly. 23_FTSMB
