David Godlis | David Godlis (Aperture) Patti Smith. Bowery, New York. 1976.

(...) ne found themselves a hidden part of the city—the Bowery—to create their Blank Generation in the 1970s. Inspired by Brassaï’s Paris Nocturne photographs of the 1930s, I was shooting long, handheld exposures on my Leica when I took this photograph of Patti Smith, hiding in plain sight, between sets outside CBGB on this starry night on the Bowery.”
