About Me

I love photography, music, art, design and going to gigs. My camera is never too far away from me. I've been working far too much recently. I need my fringe back. Notable Louise spotting places include any pub in North London (or at least north of the river), any London art gallery, gigs, on an n279 bus a little worse for wear after a night out and more recently in Camden on a weds.
