Did Annie Leibowitz do her own darkroom work? Many of the fashion  
photos displayed in the last portion of the American Experience  
showed strong evidence of darkroom manipulation. Backqrounds were  
modified and colors enhanced. They did not resemble the shoots  
portrayed in the video. If she did not do her own darkroom work, her  
print maker should have received at least a passing mention.
