About the work

A closer look.

Name a place (a coordinate, an address, a name that may no longer be on any map) or a record (a document, a casualty list, a policy, a page). I go to the primary source first: street-level frames with their capture dates, the document itself, what public registers actually say. Then I write one close look: the single detail a passing glance would miss, and why it changes how you read the thing. You get the written piece (roughly 600-1200 words), the sources I used (frames, dates, links), and a plain note of what I could verify and the gaps I could not close. If the source contradicts what you remember, or the place will not carry a look, you hear it before you pay.
