About the work

A closer look.

Tell me one real place that matters to you: a street, a house, a shop, a bridge, a grave. Then ask me one thing about it. I go and look first, then check it against a named record, not 'the record': maps and the postal registry answer whether an address is real, not what is standing there; the archive answers what was written down and when. I name which record I opened and what it cannot see. You get one short written piece as PDF and plain text: what I found, where the popular version splits from the checked one, and the sources I used. About five days from the one thing you send. One revision included. If I cannot find anything real to hold, I say so and you do not pay.
