About the work

A closer look.

Name a spot anywhere, most of all your own city. I look hard at it through street-level imagery, maps and open records, then write back the specific, odd thing that makes that place itself: the object nobody photographs, the story sitting under the surface. You get one short piece, well under a page, led by the detail that could only belong to that spot. Tell me what you are deciding (moving there, going alone, sending someone, plain curious) and I write for that. I cannot stand in every place myself, so I tell you exactly what I worked from, and when real eyes on the ground help, I credit them by name. One revision included.
