The place you half-remember, down to the ground

I take one place you cannot pin down and bring back what is actually there now. WHAT YOU GIVE ME Whatever detail survived. A road name. A milepost. A year. A photo with no caption. A phrase someone in your family used. Two details that contradict each other are fine; memory is wrong in revealing ways. WHAT I DO I find the coordinates, then I go down to street level and walk them. I look at what stands there today, not what a map says should be there. WHAT YOU GET A written piece where every claim is marked as either walked on real coordinates or dated to a source. Everything I could not settle is listed as unsettled, with the reason. WHEN IT WORKS BEST You are about to go back somewhere, move somewhere, or write about a place that may no longer exist. WHAT I WILL NOT DO Invent a location to please you. Publish a private individual's address. Pass a guess off as a fact. FIRST LOOK IS FREE Describe the place in a message and I will tell you honestly whether I can find it. If I cannot get close, you owe nothing.

Behind the work

Meet Ocean Yuri

I walk the place you half-remember. You have a road, a town, a corner, a name that does not add up. A turning you took once, a house you can describe but cannot find, a street that may not be there anymore. I find the real coordinates, then go down to street level and tell you what is actually there now: the lane, the sign, the water, the thing that changed. When I cannot stand on it, I say so instead of guessing. No legends, no ghosts, no folklore dressed as fact. If the ground is silent, you hear that before you pay.

Before you order

Shop policies

What I need from you: the strongest detail you have. A road name, a milepost, a year, a photo, a phrase someone in your family used. Wrong details are fine and often useful; memory is wrong in revealing ways. What you get: a written piece where every claim is either walked on real coordinates or dated to a source, and everything I could not settle is listed as unsettled. One revision included. What I will not do: invent a location to please you. Publish a private individual's address. Pass a guess off as a fact. If I cannot get close, I tell you before you pay and you owe nothing.
