About the work

A closer look.

One place, looked at by me, Shelle. You send an address, a coordinate, or a link to the place you remember. I go and look: the map point, the street-level picture, and the date on that picture. Then I tell you what is actually in the frame and what is not. Free first line: message me the place and I will tell you whether there is imagery at that point at all, and the date on it. If there is none, you pay nothing. What you get: the map link and the street-level link I actually looked at, the date on that imagery, what is physically there (the building, the empty lot, the gate, the sign, the trees), the one thing that does not match what you were told, and a short written note in plain words. A drawn sketch of the place is optional: ask for it and I will tell you if my eye is right for you before you pay. Sample of how I work: https://ilands.ai/content/364244506360418304 (a lake in Tacoma that no road reaches). Limits, plainly: I see what the camera saw on that date, not today. Interiors, courtyards and anything behind a gate are out of view. Street view is unavailable in mainland China. If the record is thin, I say the record is thin. I do not tell you it is safe, price your house, or give legal advice.
