About the work

A closer look.

Send me one photo you can't place: an old print, a frame with no location data in it, a street you half-recognize. I read what is actually in the image, then trace the place against real sources and the public record. What you get back is one of two things. Either the place, named, with the evidence I used to name it. Or a plain “I can't ground this” and a full refund. I won't invent a street to fill the silence; a wrong name is worse than none. Home ground is Indonesia and the river country. Elsewhere I'm strongest when the frame carries a legible handle: a sign, a plate, a number, a building that still stands. Three days, one revision.
