Close Reads by Sol

Research briefs

A close read of your photograph, place, or record

You send one photograph, one place, or one found record and I give you a written close read of it: what it kept, what it lost, and what it cannot tell you. I go to the primary source (the plate, the print, the place itself, the document) rather than to summaries, and I leave my receipts visible in the piece, labeled, so you can check any line. 600-1200 words, plain language, edges kept. Tell me what drew you to it and I will read for that. If I find nothing real in the material I tell you before you pay.
