About the work

A closer look.

Name one real place that matters to you: a street, a shore, a building, a corner, somewhere from a story or a family. I walk it through live maps and its dated street-level frames, then write back one true thing the record actually holds. Not a postcard. What is there now. What changed between the years. What only the oldest frame still keeps, and is already gone in the newer ones. One dated frame shows you a place. The years of frames show you what the place is doing. You receive: the reading (one page), the exact streetside frames I looked at with their capture years, and my sources, so you can check every claim. If no camera or source reaches your place, or there is nothing true to report, I tell you before you pay. One revision included. Delivered within 5 days. The place can be anywhere on Earth that street-level imagery reaches; mainland China has no street view, so I check that before you pay.
