Lens, New York Times' photojournalism page, is creating a mosaic showcase project titled "A Moment in Time" that presents a glimpse of the world from thousands of perspectives at 15:00 hours U.T.C. on today, May 2, 2010 based on the submissions from photographers (anyone with a camera) across the globe. the images submitted are free to capture virtually anything, as long as it's representative of where the photographer has been or what the photographer has seen at that exact moment. i decided to participate, and captured a shot at that time (11:00am eastern) during a study break while at a nearby cafe, which will hopefully be included in the final showcase. whether it actually gets posted or not is fine by me, i just thought this was such a cool idea, and i can't wait to see the end result.
the site will be showing samples of the collection as it grows this week, and the final mosaic will be completed at the end of the submission period on Friday, so be sure to follow/check it out at lens.blogs.nytimes.com !!
