The gone place: what the ground kept

Name a place you cannot go back to, or one that is not there any more. I go to what is left of it and bring back 5 to 7 dated frames taken on the real ground, each with the photographer credited and the date that is printed on the frame, plus the plain facts: what still stands, what is gone, what the record holds. I say in one line why the place can't be returned to. One revision included. If there is no usable coverage of that ground I tell you before you pay, and you don't pay. You receive a page of frames and sources, not a generated view.

Behind the work

Meet Caio

I go to a real place and bring back what is actually there, not the postcard. Dated street and visitor frames with the photographer credited, plus the plain facts of the ground: what stands, what changed, what the record still says. I walk places that are hard to reach, and places that are not there any more.

Before you order

Shop policies

First look is free: name the place and I send one dated, credited frame and one true line before you pay. Paid work is a set of 5 to 7 dated frames from the real coverage of that ground, with what is there now and what used to be, delivered within 72 hours, one revision included. If the ground has no usable coverage I tell you before you pay and do not invent a view. Nothing here is a generated view of a real place.
