Patti Smith is known for her inimitable music, but she’s also a poetic photographer. She often uses a Polaroid camera to bring herself back to the present moment.
Sometimes, if I crave silence I turn to my Land 250. The experience of taking Polaroids connects me with the moment. They are souvenirs of a joyful solitude.

I hope at least one of these photographers inspires you to pursue your passion, try out something new, or get into a new genre of photography.
