To me I live in postcode 2122. Marsfield or Eastwood who cares what you call it, it is home. Congrats on a great Blog. My friend and I are so inspired by your project we are blogging our own view of Sydney. Mine is called 'My Sydney' by MAXIPIX and hers is called 26 an A to Z of Sydney suburbs. Thank you for the inspiration, our projects are inspired not copied of course.maxipixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873654140813500669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-20337723112388392342011-03-23T14:53:44.799+11:002011-03-23T14:53:44.799+11:00fantastic blog, beautiful photos.

The pictures are under "Eastwood" when Curzon Hall is in Marsfield. Strange when the whole premise of the project is to document the beauty of any given suburb. <br /><br />Can you please fix? Otherwise I can forsee a lot of irate Marsfield residents (I'm sure they wouldn't like their lovely suburb lumped in with Eastwood).<br /><br />'maxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-81444643601955595202010-04-16T12:19:02.427+10:002010-04-16T12:19:02.427+10:00Tricia - Thank you for giving some more insight in...Tricia - Thank you for giving some more insight into the building, very interesting.

Funny thing is when I was going to start my final year of Design school (back in 2000) I was proposing to do a project very similar to 52 suburbs... I was planning to visit about 60 suburbs around Sydney to interview local people and take lots of photos of the area to get the mood. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do that project so I left uni at that point. I am so happy someone has done it and I LOVE your photos (so much better than my photography).
