Without further ado...
I am crossing all my fingers that you're free and can make it on Saturday May 14.
Because as exciting as the book launch and exhibition are, I'm just as excited at
the thought of meeting the people who helped to make 52 Suburbs such an
amazing experience - my virtual travelling companions - you! Especially if you've
been following the blog for a while and perhaps left the odd comment from time
to time - it would be just wonderful to put name to face.
to time - it would be just wonderful to put name to face.
I'll be giving a bit of a talk and then it'll be up to the gallery space for a spin around
the 52 suburbs followed by a spot of avo tea and a book signing.
I really do hope you can make it.

And so it's come to this ...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Louise!!!
I'm so thrilled for you! Well done!!
Hooray! I hope I can make it.
ReplyDeleteIt's really odd that I know the girl, Bernie, on your flyer too!
Wonderful news...may be able to put a real face to one of my favourite photographers! :-)
ReplyDeleteJodie - Thanks so much! And yes, it is pretty amazing to think back to when it was Week One and just an idea.
ReplyDeleteAlly - Oh please can you let Bernie know she's in print! I wish I'd taken her details so I could've contacted her.

Have been following 52 Suburbs for a while & I think it's wonderful a book has resulted...congratulations...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait.
ReplyDeleteAlready have my book on order and looking forward to the exception- well done.
I've been following since about half way through I. I'm planning on coming to the launch! How excitement. I heard you on 702 the other day, a lovely insight to the inspiration. Fancy it all starting with a tiny little spider!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, well done!! Wish I could be there!
ReplyDeleteTotally looking forward to seeing this up close and personal. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHey Louise! wow looks good!
ReplyDeleteI'm Bernadette the red head btw! How lovely of you to use my face! will see you at the opening! x
I heard about your launch at Pia's book launch last week! How wonderful. I am coming along to yours too. It is so inspiring to see the creative whims of wonderful women come to fuition. You must be proud. All the best. Jasmin x
ReplyDeleteWoohoo i can come, can't wait to meet you and see the photos close up. Well done
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best for a cracker launch Louise! Wish I could be there in person, however the commute from Boston is a killer. Your Redhead invitation lives up to the endlessly amazing eye for matching that I have come to enjoy most from your images. All the best, cheers, Mitch
ReplyDeleteI have been following this blog religiously since soon after it started but I live overseas so I definitely won't be able to make it to the launch. Wishing you all the very best for the big day and for your much deserved success! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! You must be extremely proud. I'm overseas as well but will be in Sydney 4 days after your launch ... so I will have to decline your wonderful invitation.
ReplyDeleteWould love to be able to come along if I was in Sydney! Maybe next time :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the exhibition - hope it all goes well.

Congratulations on the exhibition Louise! First the blog, then the book, wow!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can squeeze an insightful conversation from you on the day!
That's fantastic. I'm very excited for you - this project really deserves to be seen in a space like that!
ReplyDeleteHi...I'm from Queensland, and was in Sydney over the weekend. Soooo disappointed I couldn't plan my trip to co-incide with your opening!! It's actually my 40th that day, so I'll be busy up here. I would have loved to see your work in print. I'll be ordering my copy of your book as a present to myself! (will there be any 'extras' signed we could purchase??) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLouise! It's the other Manly Louise here. Just reading your book now and it's utterly fantastic! Just as beautiful in hard copy and so pleased to see the toilet rolls there! Congrats. All your hard work shows in full fabulous colour!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the exhibition and hope to make the opening!
Xx
Ben - I'll try!
ReplyDeleteMarcus - The Museum of Sydney is a fantastic place and ideal for a celebration of this city. I feel very lucky.
Fiona - What a bugger! Happy Early Birthday and what a great present! I'm more than happy to sign books but don't know how to organise it if you're ordering. If you're back in Sydney soon, please contact me and we can organise a signing then maybe.
Louise from Manly - So thrilled you like it. And how could I leave the Toilet Rolls out!! I really hope you can make the opening. You were one of people who kindly allowed me to photograph them and I'd love to have as many of you as possible there at the culmination of it all.

Hi Louise,
ReplyDeletemy copies arrived and I love the book. I'll be there at the launch if I can, and will say hello. I feel very proud that we have had your photos on the site for ages!
Emma, from the Dictionary of Sydney
I have followed your adventure since Suburb 1, and have been continually astounded by your skill and incredible perception.
ReplyDeleteBefore I had a chance to order the book, my son and daughter-in-law gave me a copy as a birthday present. I couldn't have asked for a better present. Every photo is a unique tile in the mosaic of life.
Congratulations!
Hi Louise, congratulations on getting to this point. I'm looking forward to getting a copy of your book and enjoying it. Unfortunately I'll be in Tasmania on Sunday, or I'd have been there. Hope it all goes well. Best wishes
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I walked past a bookshop the other day and saw your book in the window. You must be so excited!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait! I've just loved going through my copy. It's such a great book Louise, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteToday is the day!! Congrats on the exhibition opening. I'm heading for the train now. HATE the train trip, 2 hours of tragic, but I'll have your book with me and I'll be seeing your work at the Museum today. Enjoy this special day.
