Monday BlogDay :: 52 Suburbs

Louise Hawson's wonderful blog 52 Suburbs follows her discovery, or rediscovery, of a Sydney suburb a week. Louise documents her weekend journeys with stunning photography.

Louise says:
I've lived in Sydney for over 30 years but I've never set foot in most of its 637 suburbs. Time to dust off the street directory, grab my camera and venture out into the great unknown. My plan? To nose around one new suburb every week for a year, in search of the beauty in the 'burb. Care to join me?

Yes please!




I love Louise's photography and I really enjoy seeing suburbs I know and love as well as the ones I've never been to. I know you'll enjoy 52 Suburbs whether you live here, have ever visited, or are a complete stranger to Sydney - go on over and have a look around.

Good news is that Louise has an Etsy shop in the making too.

52 Suburbs Around the World

Two years ago I blogged about Louise Hawson's project to document 52 suburbs of Sydney over a year. Following the highly successful project, blog and exhibition Louise is now hoping to expand her horizons and go global.

To help Louise reach her goal and continue her photographic journey to discover and capture the beauty, character and 'unfamous' aspects of well known cities she has set up a kickstarter page. Louise is so close to her fundraising goal, and with only 4 days to go she just needs a bit more of a nudge along. If you can pledge even as little as $10 head over to kickstarter, or blog, tweet or Facebook and get the word out for her.

Edit Thursday 10th: I just checked in at kickstarter and Louise has reached her goal! Weeee!
