Digital photography has taken over the photo departments in most media outlets, but not here at the Alibi . We still believe developing photos using harsh and corrosive chemicals is the only way to go.It’s no wonder then that the Alibi has Suzy “Red Eye” Jones, a full-time blackroom specialist, on staff.Suzy’s nickname isn’t derived from her choice of profession as one might suppose.
