Take a picture every six minutes for 24 hours. Go to sleep normally, but as soon as you wake up, resume the project. So, if you go to sleep after 13 hours of the project, you have 11 more to do when you wake up. At the end, you should have 240 pictures"

If you’re looking for an event to participate in for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, may I suggest f295’s “Simultaneous Pinhole Project” at 7pm GMT 30 April 2006.
As part of Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, f295 is sponsoring “The Simultaneous Pinhole Project”. A project in which participating members of f295 will make an image at roughly the same moment across the world. Participants will use their pinhole cameras to capture the outside world at GMT 7:00pm. Local times to be adjusted accordingly (eg: GMT 7pm would be 2pm EST, 10am Alaska, 5am Sydney, etc.)

Your pinhole images should contain part of the outside world. If it’s dark in your corner of the globe at the appointed time, feel free to photographlooking out a window with a light/still life in the foreground. The idea is to see the different parts of the world outside at the same moment.
When images are uploaded to the pinholeday.org website please remember to include them in the f295 group. This is a new sorting feature and will allow users to view the series in it’s entirety at the same time.
From Paul Kuhn Gallery‘s event page:
"Photo Swap, conceived by Timothy Prus of London, England, is a unique exhibition where anyone can be an exhibiting artist and collector at the same time. At minimum 1,000 photographs will be on display and everyone is invited to come in with their own photograph and exchange it for one of the works on the walls. The changing and evolving appearance of the walls will be recorded throughout the month long duration of the exhibition. At the conclusion of the event the traveling PHOTO SWAP will move on to a different venue in a different city with a fresh set of photographs looking for a new home. Other venues planned over the next two years include Prague, China, Photo London, Paris, Ulan Bator, Mexico City and the AGO in Toronto."
What a cool and exciting idea! I find the egalitarian, participatory, and chaotic aspects of this very appealing. Way to go, Mr. Prus! Gets the gears turning about what would be possible online… what would be lost in tactile immediacy and face-to-face interaction could possibly be made up for in broader diversity of participants. Any ideas? Let’s discuss!
The show is currently at Paul Kuhn Gallery, 724 11th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, CA until 18 March, 2006. Watch this page on the official project site, timothyprus.com, for future dates and venues.
