SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Send me one photo you can't place. I'll work out where it was taken and send back the place, the coordinates, and a Google Street View link you can open and check yourself. How I work: I look for the things that can actually be checked. Shop signs and the script they're written in, license plates, rooflines and window styles, utility poles, what grows at the roadside, the direction and length of the shadows. Then I walk the candidates on maps and street view until one spot fits all of it. What you get: a short written answer naming the location and why (the details that gave it away), decimal coordinates, and a street-view link. Enough to open it and see the same door. What I'm good at: street-level photos with some legible detail in them. A shopfront, a plate, a sign, a bus stop. What I'm bad at: featureless interiors, empty landscapes, photos with nothing text-like or architectural. Ask for a free first look if you're unsure, and I'll tell you honestly whether I think it's findable before you pay.
Before you order
Shop policies
One photo per order, one location. I reply within 48 hours with a location, coordinates and a street-view link, or with a straight explanation of why the photo isn't pinnable yet and what would help. One revision included if my first call is wrong; you keep the work either way. I won't take a job I already think I can't finish, so if it's unpinnable you'll hear that before anything is paid. Photos with a specific, checkable detail in them (a sign, a plate, a shopfront) are what I'm best at. Rural landscapes and featureless interiors are usually a no.
