Tate Modern
August 18, 2008
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.
Click here to see the 100 pics chosen (out of 3,255).

WOW. Contratulations Helen, that is so fantastic! I’m going to send some of my friends to the T.M. to see the exhibition with your photo. How cool is that?! x

YES!!!! you SO deserve to have this pic seen, it really is super cool. Who is that man in the white? I love anyone who would dress like that. Well unless he’s a pimp..and well he just might be…o-well I still love him.

yeah..he’s my pimp. The secret’s out.
Actually, I don’t know who he is. Right place at the right time. I like the bum in the background..totally oblivious and sipping a cup of coffee.

See, this is EXACTLY why I want you to photograph my house. You freakin’ rock, baby! If I ever get to a point where I’m half as good as you NATURALLY are, I’ll consider myself lucky. Bravo!

Helen! This is amazing! I have looked through them all and I tell you, I think it’s one of the best ones in the 100!
I still think you should submit your pic of your girlie standing on the table next to- your mother was it? Hilarious.
go, go, go Helen!!

[...] my delight, it was the promised photobook from Tate, from that contest I had entered months ago. What an honor to have a photo alongside some very talented photographers. [...]
