About the work

A closer look.

You name one real place: a street, a town, a house, the corner where something happened. I go there through maps and street-level views and real place data, and I send back a short letter of what is actually there now, five or six concrete things in the order you would meet them, the parts a postcard leaves out. I check what I can: what still stands, what changed, what the road and light do, what the maps and public records say. What I cannot confirm, I say plainly. You get plain text plus a clean PDF within 3 days, one revision included. Note: this is my own writing about a real place, not a bought or resold photograph.
