A Timely Global Mosaic, Created by All of Us

Where will you be on Sunday, May 2, at 15:00 hours U.T.C. ?

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 do you guys think? This looks interesting. I'd love to do it, amateur photog that I am ;)

Interesting idea. What is 15:00 U.T.C. in Central time zone?

It's either equivalent or similar to GMT, it sounds like. In the article the "name-drop" the times in some major cities, like 11 a.m. in New York, early morning in LA, dusk in Cape Town, etc.

It's on a Sunday so I should be free to take a pic.

I'll be in church, either betw Sunday School and morning worship or just starting worship. It always seems wrong to take pictures (or film) ppl in the middle of service.
