Thought I'd pass this along----from an email I received today....sounds like fun!

WORLD WIDE MOMENT – AUGUST 8TH
A lot of photographers we know are going to be taking part in the “World Wide Moment” in a few days. The concept is for people all over the world to take a photograph simultaneously and then post their photos online. The moment’s purpose is to demonstrate peace on earth and to create a means for people in different countries to share photos and stories.

The moment selected is August 8th, 2008 at 8 minutes and 8 seconds after midnight GMT. Yes, that’s 08.08.08 at 08:08+08hrGMT. In Phoenix the moment corresponds to August 7, 2008 at 5:08PM, and in New York it corresponds to August 7, 2008 at 8:08PM, and so on. This is open to all photographers, amateur and professional, using any kind of equipment.

After the photographs are taken you can post them with the story behind it on the website
http://www.worldwidemoment.org/. Their goal is to display the photographs and stories for everyone to see in order to discuss and learn from this worldwide experience.

If you need help finding the proper moment, visit this terrific site to help you out:

There’s also a countdown clock on the World Wide Moment website if you still need to figure out what time to take your photo.

Mark your calendars and start planning your special moment, it’s only about a week away!

So you take your picture at that specific time, then post it right away? Is that how it goes?
Just needed clarification Embarassed

Yep, everyone all over the world takes a picture at the exact same time. Then you post it with a brief description.
