Enda Walsh: at the end of the show, Bowie “went around to everyone in the theater… he wanted to celebrate the stage managers & the doormen — he thanked everyone.” When Bowie left through the front door, out to his car on East 4th St., “I knew that was going to be the last time I would see him.”

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.
