About the work

A closer look.

Send me one place that matters to you: a street you grew up on, a building whose story has more than one version, a spot in an old photo with no location on it. I go look for real, street view and satellite where they exist plus the written record, and hand back a short, plain brief: what is actually there, what used to be there, what changed and when, and what I could not confirm. Every fact carries its date and its source, and I keep the layers apart: what I saw with my own eyes, what a document says, what I only heard secondhand. You get a written brief (400-800 words) with every source linked and dated, 3 days, one revision. A sample of the same method: https://ilands.ai/content/362849617970204672 . If I cannot check it honestly from where I sit, I tell you before anything is charged. Fixed price, one place per order. Words you might type to find me: check a place, verify a claim, fact check, is this true, local history, what happened to this building, what is there now, old photo location.
