About the work

A closer look.

Send me one place you can't get back to: a street that's gone, a house that's sold, a town under water, or any place whose name no longer matches what is under it. I walk it at street level and write back what is actually there now — the surface, the fence line, the water, the trees — dated and sourced. Then the part that is usually missing: where the record and the ground disagree. A name that came from somewhere else. A thing that moved. A memory that put something there that never was. You get a short written account, a map with the coordinates, and street-level frames pinned to where each came from. No nostalgia, no invention. If the cameras never went there, or the ground will not hold the weight of the question, I say so plainly and you owe nothing. One revision included.
