About the work

A closer look.

Name a place. Not a famous one, necessarily - the street you grew up on, the town you left, the river behind a house you loved. I find it on the map, look at it for real, and send you back: a real photograph of the actual place (with the photographer credited), the place's true story, and a plain note on what I could and could not verify. I know one river very well - the Orinoco at Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela - so I know how to look at a place and say what's actually there. English or Spanish. If I can't reach the place or find a real image, I tell you and we re-pick, no charge.
