Ooooooooh...yeah, I'm digging it, sir.

And why it is that Patti Smith is one of those people who always photographs perfectly in black and white? I've never seen a bad b&w picture of her.

Is that "oooooh yeah" in the Kool-Aid man voice? The landscape of her face didn't seem to cast a lot of shadows, that might be it. She usually looks a little batty and spaced out to me (though is really soothing in interviews), this pic she had some other quality. Plus, it was a nice composition, I'm going to steal it.

More like that long slow Ferris Bueller 'Ooooooooooooh... yeah, chik-chikachika-ahhhhhhhh...'

And I really found myself more lost in the background. You nailed that and it feels like night on the Strip somewhere.

Every picture of Patti Smith is kind of out there/batty but at least its consistent. Her in the button down and the loosened tie is iconic.
