today's the day!



Today's the day that this blog is launched kicking and screaming into the real world as a book and an
exhibition. 20 months ago I posted my first suburb. 52 suburbs and eight months of preparation
later, it's been transformed from ether into printed form - in both a small but chunky book and as 
larger prints on the wall.

I so so so hope as many of you as possible can make today. I know you probably think I'm just saying it
but I treasure each and every person who has followed this project. Because it was such a shared adventure.

So, if you can make it, please please come up to me today and say hi. Better still, join me for a celebratory
drink afterwards down at the Quay Bar, Customs House (just roll down the hill from the Museum of
Sydney and it's right there.)

Things kick off at 2pm sharp in the auditorium where I'll be giving a 20 minute talk. Yikes.

Hope to see you there, at the last pit-stop on the 52 Suburbs tour of this amazing city called Sydney.

Museum of Sydney, cnr Bridge and Phillip Streets

    Congratulations Louise, it was a good launch and great to meet you. I think I got some half way decent shots which I'll email you when I've sorted them out (as well as using some on my own blog). Am going to curl up tonight with the book.

    I am so inspired by your amazing work & your success story Louise. I loved the exhibition yesterday & I was chuffed that I got to meet you & get a photo with you...it made up for not being able to get into the auditorium for your talk (great to see that your a popular lady though!)
    Well done & can't wait for your next project :)

    I was there yesterday and was really impressed by how fantastic the photos look blown up to that size. A magnificent exhibition and it was wonderful to hear you talk about your work publicly too.

    My own baked bean era commences on the 3rd June ;)

    I hope it all went really well. I just love your blog, and now have your very precious book sitting on my shelves. I now live in Melbourne, but as a born and bred true Sydneysider, this has given me such a wonderful insight to my hometown!

    Regards from Linda
