The first time Didi made portraits of me in Sedona for the Memory Cult gathering last year she hummed a song- over and over it was our soundtrack.
A year later she was still humming the same tune with her lens in my face, finger poking my nose to arranging our gestures to get the perfect spin on the way she sees it. A scratchy melody over and over.
“What song is that?”
It’s the chorus and she’s humming the words,
“I wanna see you again”.
Of course.
So we summoned the song out of satellite air and sang blasted it on repeat. I got the lyric order wrong and she sang it right all that much louder and we took turns driving.
Cypress and foggy greens turned to sand and succulent and shore where I made these portraits with her.
