A crash course in changing the world.

PARTICIPATE in the Positive: Contribute to a Globally Shared Moment


We've heard so much lately about the tragic oil spill in the Gulf Coast, and whilst I'm still dismayed, I also would like to think there is something positive in all of us that we can share. Maybe it could be as simple as sharing a moment in time across the world, and then seeing all our individual moments merged into one global mosaic. There is a project in which we can do something like this -- and it's happening very very shortly (~45 minutes as I write this)....

And an excerpt:


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 matters more than technique is the thought behind the picture, because you’ll only be sending us one. So please do think beforehand about where you will want to be and what you will want to focus on. Here are the general topics:

Religion
Play
Nature and the Environment
Family
Work
Arts and Entertainment
Money and the Economy
Community
Social Issues

Great spark! Very positive. Missed the zero hour for the photo but look forward to seeing the resulting mosaic...

Funny enough, the organizer has a last name of Dunlap, and I am in Dunlap, IL right now :)

Here was my submission: http://www.urgentevoke.com/photo/with-cherries-on-top

Anyone else submit something?

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
