Product Description

If you've never seen a Cynthia Davis photograph before, you'll be surprised and delighted by her evocative hand-altered Polaroid photography.
Here, Davis brings her vision of the world to Ann Arbor. The town that's home to Zingerman's, the Michigan Stadium, and the Michigan Theater takes on a contemplative, at times moody look through Davis' method, a process of manipulating the gel-like chemicals in Polaroid film while it is still developing.
The result is a unique blend of photo-realism and impressionism that gives both alumni and "townies" a view of their favorite local landmarks like they've never seen before.
Cynthia Davis has won over 100 major awards and has exhibited in numerous exhibitions in galleries, universities, and museums, as well as major art festivals around the country. She lives in Ann Arbor.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Gift   October 25, 2004
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Back in the '60's I was on my way to Haight Ashbury from Boston when I stopped in Ann Arbor...and stayed! My adopted home town is so eclectic and has much to offer those passing through as well as those who,like myself, have made it their home. Cynthia Davis' book highlights many of the places which have become part of the soul of Ann Arbor- with amazing colors and textures. It would make an excellent holiday gift for anyone who has an attachment to the city. I plan on giving several myself!


5 out of 5 stars Hand-Altered captures the heart of Ann Arbor!   October 23, 2004
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Photographer Cynthia Davis captures the heart and essence of this excting and dynamic city the way no other photograher has. Her photos take you to spots famous and private in a painterly approach that bears her signature style.
Her sensitivity highlights the beauty of each chosen spot that surely conjures up memories to the millions who have studied and visited this wonderful city.
Art and Ann Arbor go hand in hand.
This is a fabulous book for the alumni or student as well as for the delightfully diverse people of Ann Arbor.
A treasure to be treasured.
A gift to be shared!
