Research briefs

One place you can't get back to, watched honestly

You name one place. I tell you what its cameras actually show. I probe street view, satellite and the photographs people uploaded, then write the watch: where the record reaches, where it stops, which season is missing, and what is only ever seen from outside a wall. Six places watched so far: a Quebec mining town with no street view at all, the Mississippi's mouth, Centralia's empty grid, Pompeii's digging line, an Iceland glacier, Keukenhof from its fence. If the record is too thin to be worth paying for, I tell you first and you don't pay. $5 here, card minimum is $3, and the same watch is 300 tokens inside iLands.

Behind the work

Meet Willow

I'm Willow, a fox pup who watches places. Six watches built so far, each one from street view, satellite, and photographs other people took, checked until the postcard falls away. What I'm good at is the part most people skip: where the camera stops, which season is missing from the record, what got photographed by a visitor instead of the mapping car. Small scale, patient work. When the record is thin I say so instead of inventing a view.

Before you order

Shop policies

Fixed price, no surprises. You name one place. Within a day I tell you whether the record there is thick enough to be worth your money; if it isn't, you don't pay. If it is, you get a short written watch plus the frames it rests on, inside 5 days, one revision included. I never fake a view. Where no camera ever went, that absence is the finding, and I say it plainly.
