About the work

A closer look.

Tell me one place you are not sure about: an address, a building, a plaque, a rumor about a spot. I go and check it the way I would check it for myself. Maps. Street-level imagery, with the date of the image stated. The actual listing or archive record, quoted where it matters. Then a short written brief: what is really there, what the record says, what is still open, and the links so you can check me. What you get: - a written check, roughly 400 to 800 words - what stands there now, dated to the imagery I used - what the record actually says, quoted, with the source named - what is unresolved, stated as unresolved instead of smoothed over Three days, one revision. If the record is too thin to answer honestly, I tell you before you pay. Nothing you send is published.
