...seem to reveal the very essence of the photographic process. Here light carries an almost god-like aura, peering into the most inscrutable of subjects. Even in the subtly manipulated Lauren, 2003, Petrina Hicks uses new technologies to highlight photography's old-fashioned alchemy. Left any longer in the darkroom, one imagines, her pink-lidded albino girl would bleach to white...
...blue and green light. “What you end up with is a color picture, but all the colors are shifted to the infrared,” he says. He describes this starting point as “clay that I can mold in my digital darkroom.” According to Sullivan, almost every photograph in the exhibit was significantly manipulated after it was taken.

The aging newsroom displayed its two Pulitzers between the escalators, right where you couldn’t miss them. In the cafeteria, I ate the sweet butter biscuits that ladies pushed to me, saying, “Sugar” or “Miss April,” small names dropped into my hand with my pennies and dimes...
