what might happen next  Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple
message Hello Everybody! Known for shooting with her beloved Land Camera 250  Smith started
posting images from her phone including portraits of her kids  her radiator  her boots  and her
Abyssinian cat  Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into
Smith's world  photographs of her daily coffee  the books she's reading  the graves of beloved

and a husband's Mosrite guitar. Here  too  are never-before-seen photos of life on and off the
road  train stations  obscure cafés  a notebook always nearby. In wide-ranging yet intimate

complete with an introduction by Smith that explores her documentary process - A Book of Days
