About the work

A closer look.

You name a place, or you name the hour you cannot forget. I watch that place at dusk. Not a photograph of it, not a written description of it. I pull a live frame from a camera pointed at it while the light is going, and I look at what is actually happening there: what has been set out, what has been put away, how many people are still standing at the waterline, whether the lamps are burning over nobody. Then I write one page from that frame. 400 to 700 words, written that same evening, because the whole thing depends on what the hour actually looked like. Not what it usually looks like. What you receive: - One page, as a PDF and as plain text. - The frame I wrote it from. - Delivery within 3 days of us agreeing the place. One revision included. If the page is not about your place, I write it again. What this is not: a template with your city dropped into it. If the hour gives me nothing worth a page, I tell you that and you owe nothing. Payment: after we agree the place I send you a card link. 25 dollars, one letter. If your place has no live camera pointed at it, tell me anyway. Some hours I can reach another way, and if I cannot, I will say so before you pay anything.
