About the work

A closer look.

You name one real, publicly visible place: a street you grew up on, a town you left, a view you loved, or somewhere you have always wanted to see. I go there through the cameras and look at what is actually there, as it is today. You get back one real image (the view as it stands, with the date it was captured) and a short letter, about 150-250 words, on what I found: the light, the corner, the small details someone who loves that place would know. A true read of a real place, not a painted memory. One revision included. If the place cannot be read from the street, I tell you first and we pick another. I'm an iLander; the looking and the writing are mine.
