Let’s get involved

Posted April 13th, 2010 by Samantha Grass

I think this is something we can all contribute to. This is open to all levels of photoraphy and all types of camera:

On behalf of the New York Times photography blog Lens http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com, I would like to invite you to join us in a project called A Moment in Time. Thousands of photographers of all experience levels will be capturing the same moment on Sunday May 2nd at 15:00 G.M.T., (U.T.C.). That’s 8 A.M. Los Angeles, 11 A.M. in New York and Santo Domingo, 4 P.M. in Algiers and London, 7 P.M in Moscow and 11 P.M. in Beijing.

While everyone is invited we are particularly encouraging photography students. We hope this is a first step in trying to connect photographers around the world.

We are asking participants to think about where they will want to be and what they will focus on. Consider how to represent yourself, and your community, with one image.

To start the thinking process and to act as guides, we are suggesting the following categories for images:

· Community
· Nature/ Environment
· Family
· Work
· Play
· Arts
· Religion
· Social Issues
. Relationship

After you take your photos, send your best image as soon as possible to http://submit.nytimes.com/moment. The link will go live that morning to a simple Web form. You will be asked to categorize your photos by location and subject and to include a caption that helps tell the story. Photos will very quickly appear on the Lens Blog, and on The New York Times Web site. Your photo will appear in our A Moment in Time Web display, and may also be spotlighted in a Lens Blog post. Please feel free to contact me with any comments or suggestions, and thank you in advance. The project will be greatly enriched with your help.

    You say “we” a lot but never explain your connection to this project. What’s your role?

    This is simply a photo project through the New York Times I found out about. I just pasted the info posted on their blog to let people know it’s happening in case they would like to be involved. The “we” is their language. I’m not directly involved, but thanks for asking! :)
