Hawson, Louise

52 Suburbs is the name of a project created by writer and photographer Louise Hawson. Realising she was a stranger in her own city, Sydney, from September 2009 to October 2010 Louise set herself the task of exploring one new Sydney suburb a week for 52 weeks, 'in search of the beauty in the 'burb'. The project is presented in blog format with photographic diptychs 'telling' the story of her travels.
