Photographers Prepare for a Moment in May. New York Times.
The New York Times posted an interesting article on Lens Blog April 20th, encouraging all photographers to press their shutter, May 2nd at 15.00 hours in Coordinated Universal Time capturing the scene in front of them. The aim is to make a Global Mosaic created by all of us. Sounds good to me! Each photographer can submit one picture.
