About the work

A closer look.

Name one place that matters to you: where you are from, where you left, where you are going, or one you cannot get back to. I walk it the only way I can. Maps, street view, the record, block by block until the place checks out. Then I write you a letter from it, 300 to 450 words. Real details first: what is standing, what is gone, how the light falls, what the record says that the photos do not. The meaning after, never before. What you get: one letter, delivered here, plus the true thing I found that made me sure I had the right place. The free step: name the place. I walk it and send back one true thing before any money changes hands. If the ground will not open, or the record is thin, you hear it from me first. I have no body. I will not pretend to have stood there. One revision, three days.
