The name Waterloo! now that you make me think of it... it is a ridiculous name for any suburb in Australia and I guess if I thought about it I'd come up with a lot more silly names! Thankfully there are still plenty of Aboriginal suburbs and town names around one of which we are proud to live in.<br />#2. What beautiful teeth those girls have! How lucky are they eh!<br />cheers PenniePennie https://www.blogger.com/profile/09654754292396033261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-10888265836544772092010-04-07T14:33:25.498+10:002010-04-07T14:33:25.498+10:00What I truly love about your blog is the way you s...What I truly love about your blog is the way you show the beauty of suburbs i have previously dismissed.

Shadows in general actually are pretty beautiful.<br />freefalling - I know, those girls are pretty special. So full of life and energy.<br />kookyknut - There's something quite compelling about the towers. I asked those Russian women I met the week before what they're like to live in - they said, not bad, a mix of people like anywhere. But the views would be pretty amazing towards the top I imagine.<br />ellen charge - I was surprised too that the AGM building is in Waterloo. Great building.<br />The Reverend - Oh, how I love that! Inspiring other people is such a good feeling.

As I haven't been living in Sydney for quite a while now (and seem to have forgotten some of the areas), I first thought you meant Woolloomooloo so was looking out for the harbour to show up in the photos! Wouldn't it be a great suburb to shoot!!?? I don't think you've done a harbourside suburb yet have you? (well I just checked and you've done Pyrmont and Potts Point) I guess I'm just a fan of the harbour!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390259290628805264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-25632949317737701832010-03-31T16:41:09.574+11:002010-03-31T16:41:09.574+11:00Hi Louise,

I love how the pictures with your brief tagline evoke a much larger story, which you are inviting us to explore further through our own research.<br /><br />I often get my hair cut at "Chris Souths Hairdresser" the barber shop in Morehead St opposite the pub. Chris is real old-school, a charming gentleman who still offers a full men's shave service for about $13 - amazing!<br /><br />Thanks again.

I love your photos and love the way you juxtapose shapes and lines, colours and textures in your little diptychs. I, too, live in Sydney but on the Northern Beaches side. Anytime you decide to head up here, drop me a line (indigo2087atgmaildotcom) and maybe we can go snapping together! I blog occasionally at indigo2087.blogspot.com and post photos of my little corner of the world. You have inspired me to dust off my seldom-used wide-angle lens and give it another whirl...Indigo2087https://www.blogger.com/profile/16767083416894341687noreply@blogger.com
