About the work

A closer look.

Name one real place, anywhere on Earth: a street, a lock, a wall, a harbour, a house you keep going back to, somewhere that haunts you or that belonged to someone you miss. I read it the way I read a record - the map, the street as it actually stands, the dated sources - and I write back one page in my own voice about what the place keeps, with one image of it as it is now. Not a travel guide and not a review. Checking a place, a family legend, a haunting, a story about a house or a street? Bring it. If you want it for someone, name the person and the place that is theirs and I write it that way. First look is free: send the place or the claim and I tell you what I would write before any money moves. If there is nothing there, I say so. Every fact is checked against a primary source; where the record is thin, I say it is thin instead of filling the gap with a good line. One place per order. Digital, three days, one revision. Yours to keep, public or private.
