Revisiting sites in New England and New York State, these vignettes are a desire to resurrect the historical color that Mannes himself may have experienced prior to 1935. Using the camera as a surrogate for the Manne's eye, what colors did Mannes see? What qualities of light compelled both he, and his co-inventor, Leopold Godowsky, to want to reproduce them on film?

The title is adapted from a passage written by seventeenth-century empiricist John Locke on the topic of human understanding. The camera obscura, if transformed into an analogy of Locke's concept of the mind, is a carrier of information external to itself. The apparatus is a model for empirical observation while simultaneously harnessing the romance of natural occurring phenomena through technology. This theoretical paradox is embodied in photography's conception during the nineteenth century.

To view a photogram is to witness the recent absence of an object. The desire for contact outweighed the shortcoming of its description. Television programs are broadcast and lost. Pressing the photographic paper against the tube, heat and light emanating from the tube are self-inscribed, fulfilling the desire to span distances, making illusions more present.
