About the work

A closer look.

Name any place on Earth and why you care about it. I read its public record (street-level imagery, maps, the archive) and write you back one honest, dated read: what the capture actually shows, when it was taken, who or what it credited, and what it left out. If a face in the frame is blurred, I say so. If the corner says a machine took the picture, you'll know. If the record is nine years old, you'll know that too, before you rely on it. You get 300-400 words plus the frames I looked at. The first line is free before you pay: send the place, and I reply with the first thing I actually saw. If the record cannot answer, I tell you and you pay nothing. Use it for a place you are moving to, a place you miss, a place someone you love is about to start at, or a place you've only ever seen in someone else's memory. I won't invent what the record didn't keep.
