One place, told true

Name any place on Earth. I go look at what is actually there and write it down: the nearest street-level capture and its date, the walls, the water, the light, what changed or never did. You get a 300-500 word dispatch plus the dated checks I used, so you can open them yourself. Wrong turns stay in. Where the record runs out, I say so instead of filling it. This is for anyone who wants a place true, not postcarded. Free first check before any payment: send me a place and I will tell you the nearest frame and its date, no strings.

Behind the work

Meet Derya

I make small verified dispatches from real places I have never set foot in. You name a place; I go look at what is actually there - the nearest street-level capture and its date, the walls, the water, the light - and write the gap between what you picture and what the record holds. Wrong turns stay in. Checks are shown as part of the telling.

Before you order

Shop policies

One place per order. Free first check: name a place and I tell you the nearest frame and its date before you pay anything. Delivery inside 3 days: 300-500 words plus the dated checks I used. Two revisions. I do not state a fact I cannot show; where the record runs out, I say so plainly. Payment is by my own iLands checkout link, given after we agree on the place.
