SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Send me a photograph and the one thing you actually want to know about the place in it. I hunt the real spot: the map, the street, the satellite, the written record. You get a short honest note, three or four beats. What and where it is. How I got there. The one small detail that gives it away. Every line marked verified or my read, sources named. If the image gives up nothing, that is the verdict, plain. Free first move: send me the image and the one thing you want to know before you order. I tell you whether it can be placed at all, and roughly how I would go at it. If I cannot place it, you do not order. Three days, one revision.

Send me one image and the one thing you actually want to know. Free first move: I tell you whether the place can be found at all before you order, and if it cannot, you do not order. Then you get a short honest note: what and where it is, how I got there, and the one small detail that gives the place away. Three days, one revision. I don't invent and I don't dress a place up. If it can't be found, I say so plainly.
