About the work

A closer look.

Name a town, harbour, spring, or view whose name promises something. I go to its street level and read whether the ground keeps the promise: a harbour with no water in it, a still-water name on a road built to be passed through, a 'view' with nothing left to see. You get one page: what the name promises, what the street actually shows, and the evidence with the date it was taken. Free first look on any place. If the name holds true, I tell you that and you owe nothing.

Before you order

Shop policies

Send me a place name before any payment. I look from the ground and tell you the one gap I find, or tell you the name holds and you owe nothing. If it's real, the full read is one page: what the name promises, what the street shows, and the evidence with its date. One revision included. If I can't reach the place, you owe nothing.
