A young video journalist from news.com followed my camera and I around recently - here's a quick
two minute video about it (forgive the furrowed brow - it was a stinky hot day, too hot not to furrow...)

Congratulations on the great publicity- well deserved.
ReplyDeleteThanks Trent. I love that on the news.com site the story on the blog is sandwhiched between stories on celeb lovers and Jordan!

Hi Louise, glad to see that you're finally getting the (nationwide) publicity you deserve! I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat article and I like the video very much!
ReplyDeleteLovely to be able to put a face to the camera operator and to be able to see just how you approach the people in the street for a photo... do you get a lot of knock backs I wonder.
ReplyDeleteI love this site.It's something that's important for preserving old memories and seen with your artistic eye, it's wonderful. Very inspiring. How do you put 2 photos side by side like that?
ReplyDeletePennie and David - Glad you liked it. To answer your quesiton, I get surprisingly few knock-backs. Which is good!
ReplyDeleteSylvia - Thank you. I put 2 images side by side using Photoshop. Very easy, just need to follow a few steps.

Louise, that's great publicity, and I'm hoping this is the beginning of something special for you, as it's well deserved. I'm telling everyone I know about your blog, and I'm sure all your other fans are too. As well as this excellent publicity, you're also building a following in the best possible way – good old ultra-credible word of mouth.
ReplyDeleteBig tip: are you heading to Chinatown tomorrow for Chinese New Year? Is Chinatown a suburb? If not, it ought to be an honorary suburb for a day!
Louise, this is wonderful! I have often wondered how you go about it, especially asking people if you can photograph them (I have never had that courage!).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I meant to let you know the other day, I couldn't believe your feature on brighton-le-sands - I was RIGHT there, on that very day, at that very time the bride was walking along the road at the beach. I was in my car sitting at the lights, on my way back from stanwell park, having just visted a friend. The coincidence is amazing because 1. I don't even live in Australia, i live in Amsterdam 2. i have only ever driven through brighton-le-sands maybe 3 times in my whole life.
I watched that bride walk with her entourage, and took in every detail. And you captured it. I still can't believe it.
Thanks again for all the inspiration.

Jamie - Thanks so much for your support - this is such a personally fulfilling project but it does feel good when people approach you and want to profile it in some way. As for Chinatown, I thought I might wait for the Twilight Parade next Sunday - maybe - but there's a definite eastern influence in tomorrow's post too.
ReplyDeletePia Jane - That is wierd isn't it?! Wish you'd stopped off for a gelato and we could have had a chin wag. The bride was very accomodating given she must have had a million photos taken of her already that day. Hope Amsterdam is still a snowy wonderland and thank you for you kind comments.

Louisa....you know who this is.
ReplyDeleteI'm only just finding time to absorb all that you've been doing and I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!
I always knew you were a creative soul but you've blown me away.
Will call you one day soon. GG
Hi Louise, I saw the article about you in the Sydney Magazine this week. I'm looking forward to your photos being published as a book.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Janna
