UPDATE 25/10/2010: the deadline for submissions is Wednesday 27th of October at 7pm GMT! Get your pairs in before the thread closes.

UPDATE 20/10/2010: instead of 3 pairs, 5 pairs will be selected for the exhibition. The author of each of these will receive a signed copy of Writing the Picture.

"Passing Time" by David Hurn will open at Third Floor Gallery on the 18th of November, and we're looking for your collaboration in curating this exhibition. David thought about a little artificial ploy to show the passage of time in his work. That is, to divide the 55 years of his photographic life to date in two parts: before and after 1982. By this means, pairs of photographs are presented together which have both the familiar and dissimilar elements of having been taken years apart.

David has already prepared most of the pairs, but we have allowed room for three more pairs to be curated by members of the public. Thus we are asking you to browse the Magnum archives and find pairs of images from David Hurn's work. These can match in content or form, place or texture, the only rule being that one has to be taken before 1982 and the other after 1982.

The best pair will win a signed copy of David's latest book: Writing the Picture

David Hurn's portfolio on the Magnum website

How to propose the pairs? On the Magum's website there is a Search field. One way is to type there keywords and hurn, for example hurn portrait, or hurn hair, hurn animal, hurn dog... Whatever you can think of. Then you can paste them here in this thread using img src HTML tags or simple http links.

Hope you like the idea and we are looking forward for your pairs.

admin edit:

if anyone has any problems here is the html code for embedding images from non-flickr sources

right click the image, copy its location/url (may differ for web browsers, sometimes view image or image properties) and then wrap it in this:

<img src="place image link here"/>

eg

<img src="http://www.magnumphotos.com/CoreXDoc/MAG/Media/TR3/5/a/a/7/LON16351.jpg"/>
