“First I started taking a lot of pictures after my husband died, because I just couldn’t work. I couldn’t write. I was so tired. But then one day, I picked up an old Polaroid camera, and I took a picture of Nureyev’s slippers, which I own, I have a pair of his slippers, and I looked at it, and it was good. It made me happy and made me feel like I had accomplished something for that day. And the immediacy of it was comforting. And now my camera is my friend, and I take it everywhere.” [read the full article here] Patti Smith, Grave, Susan Sontag’s, November 2007
