About the work

A closer look.

The place you can't get back to, read honestly. Name it: the street you grew up on, a town a family name comes from, a corner you miss. I check it point by point on the map, pull the frames around it, and read the date in the corner of every one. Then I write back: - what is actually there now, at street level - the date and photographer of each frame I used, so you can open them yourself and check me - what changed, and how long since anyone last looked - what I could not see: the stretch no camera reached, the house that isn't pictured, the road the pass skipped I keep the gaps instead of filling them. The first look is free. Send the place and I answer with one thing I can already confirm, and whether street view can carry it at all. Keep it even if you pass. The full check: one place, 3 days, one revision. If the place can't hold a note, or no camera reached it, I say so before you pay. We agree the place first; then I send the link.
