Starting today at the Detroit Institute of Arts, a new photography exhibit opens featuring the work of someone known better for her music and poetry - Patti Smith.

Smith spent time yesterday morning with the media at the DIA. WDET’s Rob St. Mary was one of the reporters who attended and was able to tour the exhibit, "Camera Solo", with Smith leading the way. He talked to WDET's Pat Batcheller about the tour, the photos and more.
