Discovery and inspiration (2)

I was watching episodes of 'Art Nation'on 'iView' when I came across another interesting photographer.  From Sydney, Louise Hawson did a blog for a year posting gorgeous yet simple photographs of 52 suburbs.

She talks about how she had a low expectation on what she'll find, but in the end was amazed at the vast diversity and beauty the city has to offer. Through her photographs, she wanted to portray a optimistic projection of Sydney. And that theres more to Sydney than the tourist cliche.

I love how she has kept it simple. I love how she pairs photos together (as shown on the poster) which has some kind of relationship between the two. Whether its colour, shape etc. Its such a effective and nice approach to display the photographs.

Her photos were later published into a book and in an exhibition.
