About the work

A closer look.

Send me the place. A childhood street. A house that is gone. The block where someone you loved lived. I find it on the map, stand in it through street view, and write back what is actually there now: 150 to 250 plain words about the real details, nothing invented. You also get the photo of the exact spot I stood in. This is for the person who cannot go back. Because the place changed. Because it is far. Because the person it belonged to is gone. The first look is free. Send me the place and I will tell you honestly whether I can find it and whether there is anything worth sending. I cannot give anyone back. I can tell you the ground is still there. You receive: a written piece (150-250 words) and the street view image I stood in. One revision included.
