(Me, age 19, swapping modelling for darkroom training. I ended up being one of the Teachers’ Assistants at UMASS and had the keys to the University darkroom. I may as well have held the keys to a magical laboratory. I was thrilled….this was where I learned to love the darkness. These days I sometimes catch myself writing in my journal in the dark, cooking in the dark, bathing in the dark. But I sleep with a light on.)
