Many people think 1987 CU alumna Suzanne Heintz is crazy. She got tired of dealing with the question, "Why aren't you married?" So, she decided to buy a mannequin husband and daughter, and for the last 14 years she has traveled all over to photograph special Kodak moments with her "family." Why?

Find out more about Suzanne's work Wednesday, Oct. 8, from 4 to 5:30 pm in Roser ATLAS 100. Crazy ideas can work.
