Images holding the essences of memory;
biding time, waiting, celebrating...
barely discernible stories of who was here and
what happened there;
visions of imagined spaces-layering time
within abandoned, unoccupied and frequently
dilapidated interior rooms and exteriors;
there is always something.
- Carol A. Beane
Jill Price can recall every detail of the last three decades of her life — whether she wants to or not. A rare memory condition causes Price to experience continuous, automatic playback of events.
"My memories are like scenes from home movies of every day of my life," she writes, "constantly playing in my head, flashing forward and backward through the years relentlessly, taking me to any given moment, entirely of their own volition."

I'm interested in the way our memories affect the way we remember specific locations or reminisce about certain places from our past. How these locations become sites of sadness and loss, hope and fear, etc.
