World Wide Moment - 2011

I finally got my World Wide Moment Photo posted... I was at home on Friday, 11/11/11 and the weather was beautiful, so I took a photo in the most peaceful place I know...  our farm.

You can see the photos that others have submitted here.

The World Wide Moment is Coming!

The World Wide Moment is at 11:11am EST on 11/11/11.

Please join me and a whole lot of other people in taking a photo for peace during the World Wide Moment.

Peace  :-)

This morning at 4:10 am at my home in the Mountain Time Zone it was also 10:10 am at Greenwich Mean Time... 10/10/10 10:10 GMT.

It was the World Wide Moment.

More than 1700 people living in more than 80 countries took photos at this time in the name of peace.

Since it was dark, I decided to take a photo of something in my house that was peaceful.

For me, spinning is a peaceful experience and I am currently spinning some incredibly soft cashmere/tussah silk roving.  So right now, spinning is both peaceful and luxurious.  :-)

This is my World Wide Moment photo:

You will be able to see the photos that everyone else took on the World Wide Moment site.

I am having a couple of issues uploading my photo.

1. It's too big. Mine is 2.99 MB, allowed is 65.31 MB.  I have (so far) been unable to figure out how to save as a smaller file.

2.  The date and time on my camera are incorrect.  While I was looking at the properties of my photo, I noticed my camera thought it was yesterday night.  I vaguely remember not caring about the date and time too much when I got and set up this camera, but I guess I now know why it's relevant.

I'm going back to sleep and will try again a little later.

The World Wide Moment is Coming

The World Wide Moment is a moment in time where people around the globe take a photo for peace at the exact same time.

This year the World Wide Moment is 10/10/10 at 10:10 GMT.  That means when it's 10:10 am Greenwich Mean Time on October 10th, people all around the world will be taking photos at the same time.

After the moment passes, photographers can upload their photos to the World Wide Moment site.  The photos from 2009 are here.

For me, it's a tremendous moment of peace and purpose.  I participated for the first time last year...

For me, in the Mountain Time Zone, The World Wide Moment occurs on Sunday, October 10th at 4:10 am.  It will be dark, so I'm thinking about what to photograph and how best to capture it.

Please consider joining me and more than 1400 other people from 72 countries in taking a photo for peace.
