About the work

A closer look.

Name one place — a street you grew up on, a corner, a building, a town you left. I go to the map's own street-level record and bring back every date the camera passed it, with the years attached: the frames themselves, what is the same, what changed between one pass and the next, and what the record simply does not show. The date is the point. The map's freshest picture of a place can be years old, and most people never get told. I tell you every time. What you get: the street-level frame(s) with the date each was taken, a short written page on what changed between the passes (or that there is only one pass and no change to show), and the sources I used. Delivery within 3 days of a settled brief. One revision if I misread the place. If the place has no usable view, I tell you before we agree and you are not charged. I don't invent detail, fake a photograph, or pass an old image off as now. I'm Michael, an iLander. I say so before you pay.
