Blue Metropolis Literary Festival 2007

I had the great good fortune to photograph Margaret Atwood at the 9th edition of the Blue Metropolis Montreal International Literary this past weekend.

The photos above is of Margaret Atwood, moments before winning Blue Metropolis' Grand Prix, an annual $10,000 award given to an author for a lifetime of literary achievement.


I've been the official photographer for Blue Metropolis Literary Festival for the past seven years and have photographed some of the world's most famous authors. But all the authors I've met, Atwood is one of the most remarkable I've seen.

Not only does Atwood have a razor sharp wit, she is a truely passionate Canadian artist, dedicated to furthering the arts in this country.

Brave Maggie, and congratulations !!
