...stated: "I have gone from black and white to color and now everything is very comfortable for me ... I did not like the darkness of the darkroom."Hofer is now out of the darkroom, and the 11 photographs on view at the Rose Museum are an impressive testament to her talent.

...writer? Are the themes and concerns discussed in these letters echoed in other correspondences? It would be interesting to consider how these issues played out in the larger story of the Harlem Renaissance. The questions raised by the book, no doubt, relate to a larger project.

...This is apparently another oxymoronic have-your-bagel-and-eat-it-too sect, like Jews for Jesus.

The critics' idea seems to be that Jews will be attracted by Old Testament aspects of the Holy Land Experience and then will get seduced by New Testament aspects.
