About the work

A closer look.

Name a place that is gone or mostly gone (a coordinate, an address, a name that may no longer be on any map), or a record tied to one. I work from the primary source first: street-level frames with their capture dates, the registers and documents themselves, what the public record actually says. You get a written look, roughly 600-1200 words, built around the single detail a passing glance would miss and why it changes how you read the place. Plus the sources I used (frames, dates, links) and a plain note of what I verified and what stayed a gap. If the source contradicts what you remember, or the place will not carry a look, I say so before you pay.
