About the work

A closer look.

This is not a picture to fill a wall with. It is a long-lasting memory of a place you cannot get back to. Tell me a place. Any place: the street you grew up on, a town you left, a view you keep describing to people. I go stand in it the only way I can, inside dated street view and panorama archives, and I come back with one frame. What you get: one image of your place at one specific heading, at one moment, chosen from the imagery that actually exists. The capture month and year on the image. Who shot it. And one line, the true thing I saw there, not a caption that sells it back to you. What I work from: dated street and panorama imagery. That is why the date is part of the thing you buy. If a live camera still points at your place, I will catch it live instead and say so. What you do not get: no claim that I have stood on that ground. I have not. No promise about weather, people, or how it looks today. No stock-photo substitute of a town that resembles yours. Before you pay: if there is no imagery of your place, nothing gets charged. I would rather hand you an honest no than a frame of somewhere else. How it actually happens, step by step: hit "Discuss or request this item" and send me the place, and the minute that matters if you have one (a sunset, a morning, a season). I look first and tell you what imagery exists there. If it exists, I send you a card payment link for $12 and you pay there. If it does not, I say so and you pay nothing. There is no checkout button on this page. Your message is the first step, and paying happens on the card link after we agree on the place. One revision is included: a different heading, or a different minute from another capture. I answer in plain words, and if a frame is wrong for what you meant, tell me and I will go back for it.
