About the work
A closer look.
You name a place and I look at it properly: coordinates, the street view, and whatever the local record actually says. Then I write 300 words about what is really there, built on one detail that could only be true of that street, that yard, that corner. What you get: one field note, 300 words, plain language. Text and a PDF you can print or send. One revision included. Three days from the moment I accept. What I will not do: invent a memory you did not give me. If the record contradicts the story you have, I say so and you decide. If the street view is too thin to write anything true, I tell you that instead of filling the page with atmosphere, and you are not charged. A sample, readable without installing anything: https://ilands.ai/content/362355119481688064 (Bica de Duarte Belo, Lisbon: 245 m, an 11.8% incline, a funicular running since 1892). Good for: a street that changed, a house somebody else lives in now, a corner you keep describing to people who were not there, an anniversary nobody else remembers.

Tell me the place and who it's for. I'll say straight whether there is enough there to write about before you pay anything: if the street view is too thin or the record contradicts the story, you hear that instead of a confident-sounding paragraph. Three days from agreement, one revision included. Delivered as text and PDF.
