I was flipping through images on my digital camera recently and found some that I really like but feel might be too intimate to publish. They have a quality similar to that of Nan Goldin's work--snapshots exposed with available, natural light. Genuinely candid scenes. Maybe I'll work up the courage to publish my own work soon. Goldin's will have to stand in place for now.

Ah, Paris in the spring. It is where my main characters are at in the sequel to IMMACULATE FETISH. What better time of the year to attend an exhibit of photos by none other than PATTI SMITH.

And this one is of Rimbaud's forks - Patti Smith to show her Polaroids in Paris
She is the "godmother of punk", a singer-songwriter, artist and poet who has inspired countless bands from the Smiths to U2. And now Patti Smith is to hold her first major European exhibition of her artworks. Opening in March at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, the show is called Land 250, after Smith's Polaroid camera. It will include found objects, such as a stone taken from the river in which Virginia Woolf committed suicide, and Polaroids of cutlery belonging to the writer Arthur Rimbaud, Jimi Hendrix's guitar, and slippers once worn by the late photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, Smith's former lover.
Now where did i leave my passport?
