Soul Hunting

According to the Webster s unabridged dictionary, a
mania is an excessively intense enthusiasm, interest,
or desire; a craze. I experience a mania on a daily
basis: I take photographs. I trap photographs inside
flat, airless fish tanks where time stands still. The
creatures captured inside the tanks resurrect every
time I see them to remind me of a sound, an odor, a
flavor, and, ultimately, a feeling I once experienced
and now cherish. This project will attempt to show
the energy captured in my photographic archives as a
journey through memories using an "over the counter"
experimental interactive software. Do you want to
experience the stories beyond the print into a
virtual environment? Then drop me an email to
hyperscholar@gmail.com or visit www.hyperscholar.com
