"I got my first Sony Portapak in 1972 and started keeping a video diary. I sat facing my image on the monitor and talked about what was going on in my life. In 1977 I decided to talk about my current experience with love. I made one half hour tape and watched it play back. Then I made another and watched it play back, and one more... I was done fro now. What follows is the middle half hour and is the tape that I used to start the Love Tapes."

–Wendy Clarke

As of 2024, about 2,500 people have made a love tape.
