From May 22 to September 2, 2007, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, London, England"Tate Britain"Exhibition catalogue for the exhibition "HOW WE ARE: PHOTOGRAPHING BRITAIN" held in.

This exhibition, planned as the first large-scale photography exhibition to be held at Tate Britain, provided a unique showcase of the history of photography in the UK, from the early pioneers to today's photographers who utilize new technologies in their production and exhibition.

The exhibition included not only well-known names such as William Henry Fox Talbot, Lewis Carroll, Julia Margaret Cameron, Bill Brandt, Madame Yevonde, Susan Lipper, David Bailey and Tom Hunter, but also postcards, family albums, medical photographs, propaganda and social documents. It also included work by women photographers and photographers from different cultural backgrounds, who are often overlooked in the history of British photography, and shows the incredible diversity, range and specificity of image-making over a century and a half. This was also the first time that Tate Britain allowed the public to directly participate in the exhibition, inviting them to add their own photos to the exhibition via the photo-sharing website Flickr.
