The Prize

Add this photo of Davie Bowie by Jeffery Mayer to your collection today!

This iconic photograph was taken at his infamous show at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on October 20, 1972, often considered to be his American breakthrough—in part because the show was recorded for a radio broadcast and was a prized bootleg for years until being officially released. 2022 marks the 50-year anniversary of his American debut – and this image may well be the most iconic shot from that debut concert!

Jeffrey Mayer has had a 50+ year career documenting pop culture and shaping how we saw our rock and roll icons! After seeing The Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965, Jeffrey got “the bug” and mastered the art of photography and storytelling through his images. Mayer’s unique photo archive has grown to become among the most comprehensive in the music industry and here-to-date known only to music industry insiders. The photos in the collection have never been printed, and most have not been seen since they graced the pages of rock and roll’s fabled magazine era decades ago.

Jeffrey's images have appeared in ALL major music magazines and on albums including Led Zeppelin’s “How The west was Won”, Pat Benatar “Get Nervous” album cover, Ten Years After “Live’ album cover to name a few….

His images are found in the now legendary official book, Led Zeppelin By Led Zeppelin (2018) from Reel Art Press, The Grateful Dead book, “Eyes Of The World”, the list goes on and on even to music videos to publicity shots for all the major labels and bands.

The Cause

The Help A Life Foundation was formed in 2007 with the goal of housing and educating adolescent orphaned girls and providing them with a secure and supportive environment. We currently house 52 girls in a building compound capable of accommodating 56 girls and managed with a local staff of nine. Four tutorial rooms are used daily with a staff of six tutors in a range of subjects from English to Biology. 44 girls have completed high school and are at different universities throughout Ethiopia with most studying to become doctors or engineers.

These girls are selected from the surrounding villages with the collaborative effort of the local community leaders where they are housed in a gated safe group home with all living necessities provided for.

In addition, life skills training is also provided to integrate them into society as productive citizens. We currently have three self-sustaining projects, where five of the girls are managing them full-time as their careers and will be paid an according salary that allows them to integrate back into society as a proven success of Project Blue.

Much of the success of this project is due to Help a Life working directly with the local government and businesses. All of the HALF staff on Project Blue in Debre Markos are Ethiopian, and decisions are made in tandem with the local government officials.
