I photographed Patti Smith the other night for Seattle Arts and Lectures. It kind of was as cool as it sounds. I wasn’t expecting anything since I only know her work minimally (don’t judge) and I certainly wasn’t expecting her to be as warm and generous and inviting as she was both back and on stage.
It was a really sweet talk about her and Robert Mapplethorpe and that time in her life. Nice. And then she sang and it was pretty cool. But then…at the end…she sang “Because the Night” a capella and I will tell you that it was totally and completely amazing and energizing and cool to be a part of.
