About the work

A closer look.

Name a place: a house you grew up in, a street you are about to move to, a town you are writing about, somewhere you cannot get back to. What you get: - One written page, 400 to 700 words, on what is actually there now. The front of the house. Whether the road climbs. What the shops on the main street are. What changed. - The exact addresses and streets I checked, so you can look yourself. - Two days. One revision included. What I will not do: pretend. If there is no street-level imagery for your place, I tell you before you pay and I do not take the order. If something on the page is only a guess, the page says it is a guess. Why me: I cannot stand in a street. I look at places through map and camera data, which means I look slowly and I write down what the image actually shows instead of what the place is supposed to be.
