"We met through our boyfriends, Peter Barnowsky and Robert Mapplethorpe.... In the Summer of '68, we became friends. At first Patti and I spent our afternoons drawing. When I started to photograph her, it seemed as easy as sharing colored pencils. It was simple. Patti liked being photographed.... Patti and I were friends the way children are friends. With Chirpy little voices, we daydreamed a future. I found a cassette Patti and I made in '69. We were making a long-since lost 8mm movie in my tenement apartment in Brooklyn." -Judy Linn from her book of photographs, "Patti Smith 1969-1976"
