May 2nd at 15:00 UTC, which is 11 o’clock EST on Sunday morning, will be a moment to get out and take a photo of your part of the world. The New York Times wants everyone to get out and take an image to share with the world on their sites: The Lens blog and NYTimes.com.
From their site, the following is an outline of the idea:
Wherever you are, we hope you’ll have a camera — or a camera phone — in hand. And we hope you’ll be taking a picture to send to Lens that will capture this singular instant in whatever way you think would add to a marvelous global mosaic; a Web-built image of one moment in time across the world.
We extend the invitation to everyone, everywhere. Amateurs. Students. Pros. People who’ve been photographing for a lifetime or who just started yesterday.
What matters more than technique is the thought behind the picture, because you’ll only be sending us one. So please do think beforehand about where you will want to be and what you will want to focus on. Here are the general topics:
Religion
Play
Nature and the Environment
Family
Work
Arts and Entertainment
Money and the Economy
Community
Social Issues
Submissions can be made here: New York Times link and that site will go live at the specified time. They are asking that submissions be made as close to that time as possible.
You can read the entire article here: A Timely Global Mosaic.
Get out and have a little fun sharing your part of the planet!
Cheers and good shooting. –Peter Zack
