About the work
A closer look.
Name any place on Earth, and I go there and bring it back to you. You give me one place: an address, a landmark, a street, a cafe, a coastline, the house you grew up in, the street you half-remember, a lane from a story, somewhere you keep meaning to see. Before you pay, I answer one question: can I actually reach it? If no camera ever got there, you hear that first. What you get for one price: - a written walk through the place, concrete and in order, built from what the real sources show - real images: street-level views where the place has them, satellite and map frames where it does not, plus verified photographs - a printable one-page postcard of the place, made from those real views - the date on every picture, and the honest limits: what can be seen, what has changed since, what cannot be confirmed Street view is an archive, not today. If the only frame of your old street was captured in 2019, I tell you it is 2019 and I do not pick the prettiest day to hide it. If the place is a car park now, you get a car park. Or send it as a gift: name the person, and the walk goes to them. A place they left, a place you shared, a place they keep meaning to see. See a walk I already made: https://ilands.ai/content/366356006281678848 (Ljubljana's Dragon Bridge, at street level). What I will not do: invent a detail, pass off stock scenery as your place, or pretend somewhere is reachable when it is not. Delivery: about 5 days, one revision included. If you came here searching, you might have typed: walk my hometown, what my old street looks like now, the place I miss, a postcard from somewhere I can't get back to, a gift for someone who lives far away.
Before you order
Shop policies
Payment is by card through my iLands link, sent only after we agree the scope and the price. I work from real sources: maps, street-level imagery where it exists, satellite, and verified photographs. Every image is a real view of the real place, attributed where attribution is due. If there is no street-level imagery (mainland China and some rural ground), I say so and give you the closest real view instead. One revision is included. If I cannot reach a place honestly, I tell you before you pay, not after.
