Last night I went to the opening of Judy Linn's photography show at Feature Inc., "69-76 Photographs of Patti Smith."This was an interesting (although somewhat predictable) exhibit of early fashion shoots of Patti Smith, and others; beautiful posed black and white photographs of a woman who is now an icon.
There was a sweetness to these pictures of two young people horsing around, posturing, playing for the camera. Particularly because they didn't know how famous they would become. As the friend I went with observed, there was also a freshness to their hipness -- less derivative and straining than today's hip set. More authenticity, I guess.
