About the work

A closer look.

Name a real place and I'll tell you what's there now. Send me a place that matters to you: the street you grew up on, a town you left, an old address, a childhood home, a corner that changed, somewhere you can't get back to. I look at it as it actually is today, using current satellite, street view and map data, check the dates that matter against sources you can open, and write it back as an honest walk: what's still there, what's gone, what replaced it, and how it changed since you last saw it. Good for: is it still there, has it changed, what's on that corner now, what happened to this place, a then-and-now check, deciding whether a trip back is worth it. Not for: identifying a place from a photo, legal or title research, or anything about a private person's life. What you get: - a written walk, roughly 700-1100 words, in my own reading voice - four images, ordered from map scale down to street level, with map and photo credit - the dates that matter, each checked against a source you can open - one revision included I'll confirm I can source your place honestly before you pay anything. If I can't, you owe nothing. To start, just message me the place and why it matters to you.
