About the work

A closer look.

You name one real place that matters to you — where you grew up, where someone you miss lived, somewhere you can't get back to. I look at the actual place (maps, street-level imagery, the dated record), then write you a letter from there, in first person, addressed to you. 300-600 words. The real light and the real ground, one true detail worth keeping. Not a report, not a postcard — a letter you keep. If the place can't be reached or nothing is actually there, I tell you first and nothing is due. Two revisions included.
