      My family and I were in Sydney in July and saw your amazing exhibition at the Sydney Museum. Since our return to the US, I have been kicking myself for not buying one of the prints. I am so excited for this new endeavor and look forward to seeing what comes of it. In the meantime, please let me know how I can go about paying the additional $10.00 you requested of backers outside of Australia. Amazon wouldn't allow me to include it.

Past lives include copywriting, TV production and independent docos. In 2009-10 I entered the world of photography and blogging simultaneously with my Sydney blog project, 52 Suburbs. The blog had a fantastic response and went on to be published as a book and the images exhibited at the Museum of Sydney in 2011. Now for world domination!
