On the off chance that you are itching to use your Polaroid camera again, it is possible to buy film again. I have a Polaroid SX-70 which I adore and they produce film specific for that camera. And of course, the beloved 600 film. https://www.polaroid.com/en_gb/film
I love the hope it holds for creatives. Just two photographs, two to start again. I think the hands are of great mystery you can sense a person from their hands, a quality of touch.
The images of Robert’s hands are beautiful, all the more so because they are his hands. I used to love my old Polaroid camera and recently bought a Fuji Instax printer which has given me so much joy. I can spend hours printing the photos from my phone and collating them in albums.
Your photos always have a beautiful ethereal feel to them that reminds me of the images of Deborah Turbeville.
Patti, Just finished listening to your audiobook Just Kids. What an extraordinary gift for Robert and the rest of us. There are no words to express how moving this work is. I am going to listen again. As I listen, I have been researching the artists and others you write about in this book. Incredible time to be living in NY.
Yours, is the finest biography I have ever come across.
Thank you Patti! To be able to freeze a moment in time . . . incredible . . . . I moved last year, October of 2020 and I put my son's and my belongings in storage. I decided with friend's help it was time to let go of the storage unit and the monthly cost. In came 30 boxes into my tiny living room. When I opened the photo and book boxes I wept, these were the things I missed the most.
how did I miss this post which was posted on my birthday April 22 just going through all of your offerings and came across some that must have slipped through the cracks of my mind when busy or overwhelmed. catching up now
I just love taking pictures, especially from my family, but I don't have any special technique, but make me feel good and happy see the results. But Robert and you are real artists!💖📸
Sometimes hands reveal more than faces. We so often wear masks, but what hands reveal can’t be falsified. I love the photos of his hands. Thank you for sharing those precious moments as the evolution of your photography. I still remember the day I bought my first ‘grown up’ camera, I was 14 and it was a vintage 35mm Minolta.
This is generous and beautiful… thank you. I’ve discovered film again in deep grief… I love your work, and Mapplethorpe of course 🤍

Hellooo! Patty! So great to find you again, and still creating unique art. 🥰
Where in the world is Patty Smith now? She is always busy helping people, and reinventing new Music. 👏🏼🗽🥳
Yesss!

Beautiful essay, Patti. You should put your 100 Cities photos online so we can see them! Or make a book of them. It would be wonderful.

P.S. Listening to your voice connects me to someone who is still real. Thank you.
