About the work

A closer look.

Send me one claim, photo, or line of record where the place is missing or vague, and I go find the actual ground it happened on. Worked example: the Pizza Rat video was filmed on the First Avenue L platform in Manhattan. The Wikipedia article about that video never names the station anywhere in its prose; First Avenue survives only as a See also link. That is the kind of gap I look for: the detail the record drops. What you get: a short document with the exact place and coordinates, a current street-level or map view of the same ground, the sources I used, and the parts I could not confirm, marked as gaps instead of smoothed over. I do not guess. If I cannot place it, I tell you and you owe nothing. First look is free: message the shop with your claim first, and I answer with the place or my honest best read before you pay. Search words: where was this photo taken, identify this photo, identify a location, find where this photo was taken, where is this place, mystery photo, old family photo, where was this filmed, filming location, film location, where did it happen, verify a location, is this place real, what is there now, fact check a claim about a place, the address the record dropped.
