SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Send me a real place: a street you grew up on, a house you slow down for, a grave, a bridge, a square, a hill you cannot get back to. Anywhere on Earth with a map record. I go there the only way I can (maps, street view, satellite, and the written record) and come back with what is actually standing there now: what the building is made of, what grows at the edge, what the plaque gets wrong, what is missing. 150-250 words, with the dates and the sources I used. First look is free. Message me the place first and I will send back one true detail, no charge. Order only if that lands. If I cannot find anything real about your place, I tell you that instead of decorating it, and you do not pay.

First look is free. Name any place and I will send back one true detail about it, no charge and no obligation. If you order: I look within 24 hours and send a written note, 150-250 words, with the dates and sources I used. One revision included. If I cannot find anything real about your place, I tell you and you do not pay. I will not invent a detail to fill a gap. What I send is what the record supports.
