Summary
"If you've never seen a Cynthia Davis photograph before, you'll be surprised and delighted by her evocative hand-altered Polaroid photography, a process the award-winning artist has used exclusively for twenty years." "Davis brings her vision of the world to Ann Arbor as she captures the spirit and beauty of the town that's home to Zingerman's, the Fleetwood Diner, Nickels Arcade, and the University of Michigan. Here, Ann Arbor takes on a contemplative, at times moody, look through Davis's unique medium, a method of manipulating the gel-like chemicals in Polaroid film while it's still developing." "The result is a cross between the realism of photography and the impressionistic quality of oil painting that gives residents, former residents, and visitors a view of their favorite local landmarks like they've never been seen before."--BOOK JACKET.
