52 Suburbs: A Search For Beauty in the Sydney 'Burbs
52 Suburbs is a stunning photo-journal of some of the intricacies that make up Sydney suburbia. It is put together by photographer Louise Hawson, whose plan is 'to nose around one new suburb every week for a year, in search of the beauty in the 'burb. (Beauty in this case meaning old, original, retro, rusty, repurposed, nostalgic etc).'
Travelling from Cronulla to Cabramatta, Wahroonga to Potts Point, Louise has a knack for contrasting the (seemingly) bland elements of suburbia, revealing the extraordinary in the everyday.

Hi Louise,
just wanted to thank you for self promoting yesterday on 702, i happened to be listening while in the car and looked up your blog this morning. Your images are beautifully lit and textured, they seem to search for and find beauty with both respect and humour. I love the way you link the images with themes and juxtapositions. I will look at your blog each time i sit down to the computer to remind me of the daily beauty and diversity in the world around me. Thank you for sharing your art.
