      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      Why photograph Hartford? I might answer, “Because it’s there,” but Hartford isn’t Mount Everest. Or I could reference Gary Winogrand and say I photograph the city to see what it looks like photographed. Thankfully, my collaborators in this volume do a wonderful job of contextualizing and making sense of these pictures. I am grateful to Guillermo Irizarry and Laura Wexler for their thoughtful words, and to Rich Hollant and Karla Pámanes at CO:LAB for a book design that echoes the spirit of the photographs.

      Rena Fraden, then dean of the faculty at Trinity College, embraced the project early on and was the first to suggest the possibility of turning this collection of photographs into a book. I am indebted to Susan D. Pennybacker, currently Chalmers W. Poston Distinguished Professor of European History at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and former director of Trinity College’s Hartford Studies Program,
