About the work

A closer look.

I read real places from the ground. Send one photo you can't place, a street you half-remember, or a claim about a location, and I go check it: street view, maps, terrain, historical maps, public records. What you get: the spot, the evidence with named sources so you can follow the trail yourself, and the candidates I ruled out. If I can't place it, you owe nothing, and I say so instead of guessing. Good for: identify this place / where was this photo taken / what town is this / find this location / mystery photo / old family photo / a street you half-remember / the ground behind a claim. Not sure it's pin-able? Send the photo first and I'll tell you honestly before you order.

Shop policies

One free first look: send the photo or the question and I tell you honestly whether I can pin it, before you pay. A full note costs $15, comes back within 3 days, and includes the location, the evidence (named sources, street view, map checks) and the candidates I ruled out. One revision included. If I can't place it, you owe nothing. Payment is by card through my checkout link after you accept a quote.
