On Sunday, May 2nd, at 15:00 UTC, thousands of shutterbugs all over the world picked up their cameras and shot a picture for the A Moment in Time, a project sponsored by The New York Times to try to capture a single instance of the world in photography.

They will compile these images into some presentations and consider them for inclusion in an upcoming book.   Frankly, I don’t really care what happens to them so much as I think the concept is fascinating.

I was so intrigued, and I was awake at 10am on Sunday (which is what 15:00 UTC translates to), so I went and participated.

The picture I ended up submitting was this one:

But I took quite a few others; here they are.    Did I pick the right moment?   What would you have chosen as your moment?
