Meeting the lovely Chris Smith, and doing a podcast

Right before leaving Chicago, I met Chris Smith, the organizer of Out of Chicago Photography community. Chris and I had decided to meet to do a photowalk that would end with a podcast session. However, we had so much fun together that our walk lasted 6 hours, well into the night, and the podcast had to be postponed to the following day :)

Thank you so much Chris for letting me discover Chicago one last time. It was a pleasure to hang out with you!

Artist talk and interview, courtesy of the Chicago Public Library

Yes, I had my first artist talk at the Chicago Public Library! And it went well :) I was thrilled to see so many people attend, and it was surprisingly fabulous to be able to talk about Dreams of City to such a receptive and engaged audience. Thank you so much, you really made it a beautiful day for me.

Along with it, a short interview published on the Chicago Public Library website that you can find here: http://www.chipublib.org/news/street-photographer-marie-laigneau-to-give-artist-talk/
