Los Angeles, 1971: This is at, I always say this is at her house in Laurel Canyon, which is a very, very, very fine house, you know, like in the song ['Our House,' by Crosby Stills & Nash]. She was a neighbor of mine, and every time I drove to Lookout Mountain Avenue I drove by her house. This one particular day, I had gone there to shoot publicity photos and she kind of went and leaned in the window to talk to my partner Gary, and I just started shooting pictures. When I took all these pictures it was just a simple thing -- just me and the camera, I mean there's no crew, there's no reflectors, there's no lights, just kind of a simple everyday thing.
