Hilton Head Island: 09.09.09 Moment for Peace

I've been noticing lots of shirts around town with the 09.09.09 date on it, and I wasn't sure what it was for, but a little research turned up that it's a movement by the organization Imagine Peace, for a Worldwide Moment of PEACE.

From their website: www.imaginepeace.com...

"Worldwide Moment is a non-profit arts organization which encourages people around the world to celebrate peace and international collaboration by taking simultaneous photographs and sharing their stories. 2009’s Moment occurs when the time is Wednesday September 9, 2009 at 9:09AM in the +09GMT time zone, or 09.09.09+09GMT@09:09.

After the Moment occurs, upload your photo, location, and a short description of your Moment, to the Worldwide Moment website www.WorldwideMoment.org. The photo collection will then be available online, and will eventually premier in-person at a gallery, soon-to-be determined. If you are a gallery owner or representative interested in showing the photos please contact us.

Whether amateur or professional, film or digital, Polaroid or camera phone, young or old, this is for EVERYONE. All you have to do is take a photograph at the specified Moment. And for those who want to participate but don’t have a camera? WE WANT TO GIVE YOU ONE. Contact us.
To see Worldwide Moment’s 2008 exhibit of 270 photographs from 20 countries visit our Gallery.

Created by University of Southern California School of Cinema/TV graduate Brett Brownell in 2007, Worldwide Moment is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions in behalf of Worldwide Moment may be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law."

So - do with it what you will, but to me a cause for peace is a good cause.
