this stranger told me to cry and feel my feelings...

What? You're getting your picture taken What's his name? Mango What do you shoot? I started out when I was 20. I'm 76, so... Wow, you don't look 76. I know. My mother didn't look 100. What did you end up shooting? Well, I started as a rock and roll photographer. Rock and roll photographer? So much. Of course, dude. I appreciate you, dude. It was so nice meeting you. Yeah, I'll send you guys the footage. Be safe, bro. Yeah, we'll do it. It was great to watch you today. Thank you so much. Yeah, what was the best part about traveling as a photographer? Yeah, every part of it, like all of it. Our band was 45 people, three kids, a dog and a five person film crew oh my god, around the United States on a private plane. We had 54 shows in 48 cities, all sold out What would you tell a photographer who's like starting off? Love it. If you don't love it and you don't feel it don't do it and don't try to be like anybody else. Everybody has their own genius and their own brilliance. I love it. Yeah, I can't stay away from it, like I just, I mean today I was like there's a story out there today, I gotta go capture it, yeah and it was them. Yeah, yeah, that's and then now, like I love your story too. Do you look forward to anything else? Yes, what I'm doing these days is I'm photographing myself naked with the food that I grow, it's like in like your garden actually on my kitchen table in my garden that is so interesting oh my god I love to eat I don't want to diet I dieted most of my life to try to be thin because that's what that's what the patriarchy would like for us to do is be small and thin and whatever and I have an aging body and we're supposed to be uglier and uglier as women as our bodies age so I'm taking pictures of food with my body. What would you tell someone who's struggling with eating? We try to push down our pain because we don't know how to access our tears very well and how to access our grief and all of that so sometimes I would overeat to to feel so poorly that I'd eventually cry but it took the feeling physically over full to make myself cry and face that I'm in pain we need to be heard we need to be told that it's just absolutely incredible for you to feel and cry it just do it keep feeling keep crying yeah I love crying sometimes it takes such a long time like I'll be sad about something and then I'll watch a movie but I'm not crying about the movie I'm crying about what I'm sad about but they had to take the movie to make me cry well yeah that's very much similar to the overeating situation you're trying to fit into a a model of beauty that is fed to us look at our president's wife she feeds us a model of beauty that makes people want to do botox and you know change their hair color and be skinny and and and wears specific kinds of makeup and clothing to try to fit into the picture of the perfect woman, her hair perfect, all this perfect, and it's bullshit. Without all of that, we are just who we are. That's just a mask. You know, the more natural a person can be. There's something about the way that the sky turned red We're turnin' off the lights on your sister's bed Wishin' on the clouds on an evening stroll Turnin' about a hurtin' that a heart can't hold There's a small tattoo curlin' up your spine Yes, but when I caught your head on my heart where the bluebirds sing
