Tate Modern

Pinch me now! I am dreaming. Okay, that hurt. I am in disbelief right now. A San Francisco photo I took earlier this spring was chosen in a contest by Tate Modern in London. Besides never ever winning anything, I am so excited that my little photo will enjoy some time overseas (lord knows, someone ought to!).

In conjunction with the exhibition Street & Studio: A History of Urban Photography, Tate Modern invites you to contribute your own urban portraits to be shown in the gallery, and to have the chance to be part of the Street or Studio user-generated photobook.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Street & Studio: A History of Urban Photography at (Tate Modern 22 May – 31 August 2008) presents a history of photographic portraiture: taken on the street or in the photographer’s studio.

It contrasts carefully orchestrated studio shots with images captured in the changing and uncontrollable street, highlighting the crossovers between the genres and their influence on each other.
