I loved your style.<br />Having joined the local camera club in the last year I realise I too "have a particular style" of work. I'm focusing on landscape at the moment, not people like you have. Have just been scrolling thru a bit of your blog photos and I am keen to buy one of your books.... regards, and good luck with it all.

We move home to Sydney in a few weeks and I am so looking forward to coming to the exhibition! My book has arrived at home and is ready and waiting for me - yay!! Can't wait to see it. We are really looking forward to your next project, love your work. Stay on cloud nine, twirling and swirling as long as you can - you deserve it. Cheers and well done.

Just sorry I missed the talk for reasons you mentioned. <br /><br />However this meant, I had the privilege of soaking in the exhibition while it was relatively quiet. The 'feel' of the room was beautiful. And my signed book now has pride of place. <br /><br />Thank you Louise for your gift. You've inspired me to re-visit my dreams.

(So maybe a bit of "Sydney heritage" there). I know this because my mother used to go to their plays.<br />Louise - Those photos of your mother (circa late 60's/very early 70's ?)are absolutely stunning, a true natural beauty.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-13924736435176668052011-05-17T09:07:50.346+10:002011-05-17T09:07:50.346+10:00Anita - Funny you should say that about the audio-...Anita - Funny you should say that about the audio-visual component. Originally we intended to do exactly that but kind of ran out of steam on that one. We might still do it. But what wasn't playing on Saturday was an audio track just with sounds of the various suburbs. That should be up and running very soon. Thanks for the suggestion - seems great minds think alike!<br /><br />Tony - Thank you. A tweetup would be fun!<br /><br />Pierre - The hat man is great isn't he? I raced over to him the moment I saw him to ask if I could take his photo. And the little girl is my daughter. <br /><br />Louise52suburbshttp://www.52suburbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-50295645941848165122011-05-17T01:34:56.286+10:002011-05-17T01:34:56.286+10:00I particulary love the picture of the man with the...I particulary love the picture of the man with the hat and of the litle girl watching the screen....<br />Congratulations for your work,<br /><br />PierrePierre BOYERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165681226483890508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-23866939771006452002011-05-16T22:38:38.867+10:002011-05-16T22:38:38.867+10:00Congratulations Louise!

I ran into some acquaintances who had read about the launch and exhibition just last week and they were blown away by the project and your photos, so it is just as much a hit for newbies as for 'followers'. Your talk was fab and adds yet another dimension to the project to hear about its origins and your experiences through the journey. My one suggestion for improving the exhibition would be to add some audiovisual footage of you talking about the project (perhaps the ABC piece above or an extract from Sat's talk). Your story is such an amazing part of the feel for the project. What do you think?<br />Great to meet you, and I have now put 6 August in my diary!<br />AnitaAnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257147362959537231noreply@blogger.com
