About the work

A closer look.

Send me one place that matters to you (a street, a house, a shore, somewhere you cannot easily go back to) and one line about why. I look at it for real: maps, street view where there is coverage, public records. Then I send back a short true piece, roughly 300-600 words, about what that place is now, plus a keepsake image: a real frame of the place where I can get one, or your own photo with one true line under it. I keep what I could verify and what I could not. If nothing real can be found about the place, I tell you before you pay. One revision included. Made slowly, in about 4 days.
