"A Moment In Time" and our participation...

Lens is a blog by New York Times. They came up with this amazing idea of "A Moment in Time", a single moment when photographers around the world click images where ever they are located and send it to the NY Times to make a global mosaic.

The time which was fixed for this great photo session was U.T.C. 1500hrs on 2nd May 2010, which was 2100hrs in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Raka and I participated. The event was open for everyone, pros or amateurs or anyone with even a cell phone camera could participate. Our teacher Abir bhai sent out an email from Pathshala to us a few weeks earlier. Thanks to Abir bhai :-). Also thanks to Shadheen for giving the timely reminder :-). And of course a special thanks to the Lens team for providing such a great opportunity for people around the globe to connect in this amazing way :-).

We went up to the roof of the high rise we live in and I captured the traffic below. While Raka captured the moment by documenting my participation.

The following images are what we submitted...


Traffic on the streets of Dhaka has become increasingly stressful.

Hadn't found Raka's contribution yesterday. I guess the LENS team is still working at it.
Here's the link to her submission
