Tate and Tate

June 17th - Thursday - Day 25

Happy Birthday to my lil puggie butt Monkey Face, yesterday was his 6th birthday.
Tate and Tate. we went to the Tate Britain this morning and looked around, i went to a few of the galleries and then sat outside for the rest of the time, and the door i went out of to chill had a huge camera crew and people and make up artists and a big red bus. so i sat down and started crowd watching and girls where going crazy for a few of the guys and getting photos taken with one of them and autographs from others. but i didn't recognize the guys, so i asked some girl who was sitting near me and he is a celebrity here in Britain. and they are filming a movie, but she didn't know the title so i think when i get back i am going to look it up.

once the group got done with the museum, we walked to the Pier and hopped on the ferry to the next Tate museum. the ferry was pretty cool, quick smooth ride, and i got some cool shots from the sides of the boat! once we arrived at the opposite Pier we went and ate at pizza express, had some yummy food. then we went to the Tate modern.

At the Tate Modern there was an exhibition called Exposed which gave a look into Voyeurism, Surveillance and paparazzi shots, not nasty dirty images. they took photos from history where the subject wasn't photographed knowling or they where not posed to have their photo taken. Photographers like Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Weegee, Robert Frank, Robert Mapplethorpe, Nan Goldin, and Man Ray just to name a few. All photographers i learned about in my history class in the spring.
after i finished with that exhibit i walked down stairs and went to the Surrealism gallery and saw DALI and Picasso! very excited about that, and i got photos of them. photos where not allowed in most of the galleries, but i snuck a few in :) then i came back to the hotel to soak my feet in cold water, it felt good on my ankle. now we are just killing time waiting for dinner time :)

Love,
