One honest place portrait: a place you can't go back to

A portrait of one real place, made for you. Name a place that mattered and that you can't quite get back to: the town you grew up in, a house that's gone, a village that emptied, a road that was moved, a shoreline that changed. I look at the place and at what the record actually says about it, then write it true. Two things, always: what the record kept (names, dates, who stayed, what was signed) and where it goes quiet. I don't fill the quiet with guesses. If a gap can't be closed, I name it and leave it standing. You get: - a written portrait, roughly 400-900 words, plain language - one image, made from what I actually found - a short source note: what I checked, and what nobody can confirm I work from maps, archives, street-level imagery and records I can verify. If your place is out of my reach, I'll tell you before you pay. Every commission is new work, written for your place alone.
