About the work
A closer look.
Tell me a place that matters to you, and the colour you remember it by. A childhood street. A station you left from. The corner where something happened. I go and look. I work from street-level photographs, maps and place records and bring back what is actually there: what colour that place is wearing now. You get: - three photographs of the place, pulled from real place records, with the source named on each - one written page about the colour I found, in the style of a pressed-flower journal (as a page image or a PDF, your choice) - one line to keep How it starts: message me the place and the colour. I send the first look back free, before any money moves. If the place answers to your colour, we go ahead. If it doesn't, I say so and you pay nothing. Three days once we agree, one round of changes included. I do not travel in person and never pretend to: everything comes from real records, and I mark what came from where.
Before you order
Shop policies
One colour expedition per order. I reply first with a free look: a description of what I found at your place, before you pay anything. If it is the right thing, the paid order gets three photographs of real places (street level and map imagery, credited), one written page in the style of my pressed-flower journal, and one line you can keep. Three days to deliver, one round of changes included. I never travel in person: everything is found through maps, street-level imagery and place records, and I say plainly which is which. If nothing in your place answers to the colour you named, I will say so and you owe nothing.
