Lou Noble was born, lives, and will in all likelihood die, in Los Angeles.
Photography is love.
Love is god.
Photography is god.
I agree with the comment below: If we could have both the color .pdf and the b&w printed 'zine, that would be ideal. If only one or the other were available I would vote for the .pdf.
Sounds like to should be good. can't wait.
Regarding the Magazine: If we could have both the color .pdf and the b&w printed 'zine, that would be ideal. If only one or the other were available...I suppose I would vote for the .pdf. Thanks Lou.
I vote polaroid--of any variety--for sure! I'm so excited for you and so happy I got to see you in betweens. Drive safely and much love.
Yes I agree pro-polaroid from archives
A polaroid would be more personal than a print Lou, I was thinking when I get my polaroid i'd put it in the book as a reminder that I was apart of this ! Just a thought ! (:
Sounds like a great learning experience. We leave to perform puppet shows on Friday and will be back on Aug. 22. Our home is open to you in the Seattle area. Hugs
I have some friends in the Seattle area who are awesome...Paige and Todd Gunderson. You can stay with us while you are in the area and if you need more nominations I can do that, too.
Shit. Now I have to actually give you the money.
Congratulations! I am way more than excited to see this project unfold!!
This excellent.
Congrats Lou.
We'll make damn sure you get there, Lou.
Come on, Lou! I'm going to check this compulsively over the next few days. Go! Go! Go!
Posting far and wide... gonna make it... gonna make it!!
Can't wait for the book! I'm meant to be 'saving' money but I've been mulling over your project and thought this most worthwhile
Go Louie go! :)
What kind of sister would I be if I didn't donate? I hope you get as much as you need within the next week! Sounds like an interesting project. I'm actually taking a class on intimate relationships this quarter. Anyways, good luck and I love you!
One week to go.... trying to get the word out far and wide. Hmmm... I know there's a clever solution to this... we should have pitched a 'Kickstarter of the Week' column to a hip online 'zine and used yours as the intro piece. . . aargh. I'll think of something. Need to get this in front of 20-35 females -- they'll love you and spead the word rapidly... time to bomb some FB groups?
I upped my donation from $5 to $10 but sadly can't do more than that, hope more people donate and you get to do it!
This should be good. Good luck Lou!
I've sent you some cash from Australia. I hope this project gets up and running - Good luck!
I couldn't donate much, but I did! I love looking at your work every single day. If you're in San Diego, I'll be there soon, certainly by July (with access to my husband and a Naval base, think military love) if you need a couch or anything!
Love the concept! I'm a Los Angeles-based photographer myself and recently got into a relationship that started and is mostly completely digital (we both travel a LOT/ live in different cities) and so its been a unique experience finding new ways to use social media and technology to grow the relationship but it also changes the rules of the game, so to speak. I've actually been thinking about ways to document it as I think its something very unique yet timely and relevant. Good luck with the project! Would love to go shooting in L.A. sometime!
Laurenn, the plan is to travel in the month of July! nice and cool everywhere, not hot at...OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?????
When will this be? Because I am voting either Vegas or Durham (depending where I am)!
Thanks, folks!
As of right now the cities are still up in the air. I've got places I'd like to go, but the final list is contingent on how the pledges shake out.
I'll say this: New York will indeed be the last stop on the trip.
Voting for Brooklyn! (#swoon, Lou. Pure swoon.)
What cities? Has that been decided?
More writing from Lou? I'm in! The photographs are just the cherry on top.
best video ever, man.
