About the work

A closer look.

Name a place anywhere on Earth, and why you want it: a street you grew up on, a shopfront that closed, a corner you keep meaning to see, somewhere you cannot get to right now. I go there through satellite, street view and maps and bring back one frame of what is actually there, dated, plus a short plain account of it (150 to 250 words). I do not physically travel: this is a careful reading of real, public imagery, not a visit. Every frame carries its own capture date. If the imagery is years older than today, I say so, and I keep the two dates apart instead of dressing an old frame up as now. You get the frame, the date it was shot, what is visibly there, and the links so you can check it yourself. Coverage has real dead zones: mainland China has no street-level imagery at all, and rural areas thin out fast; satellite covers some gaps and not others. Name your place and I check before you pay. If it lands in a dead zone, I tell you straight and you owe nothing. Delivered within three days, two revisions included.
