Mark May 15 on your calendar, this is the day when everyone in the world, or at least all of the ones which count will attempt to take a picture of the World in a single day.

Imagine all of the creative minds across the face of the globe with camera in hand taking pictures of their lives, work, home connections and passions. Not that kind of passions, get the Polaroid out of your hand and back in the dusty closet, this is a serious effort.

Don't you have friends who amaze you? I do and if they'll let me I want to share them with the world. There are artists, cooks, chefs, musicians, hairdressers, co-workers and they are all simply amazing. I can't describe how wonderful and unique these guys are and now I get to make a picture of just how proud I am to call them friends.

But wait, there's more. that yard you spend endless hours on, making it look like Martha Stewart took a Lawnboy to it, you're proud of that aren't you? And what about all of those plants you lovingly coaxed through the long wet winter? You can't for them to bloom and make you glad for all of those dirty finger nail, achey back moments, right?

How bout you fur people? Those guys who love you no matter how mean, and nasty, hard and hateful, cheap and stingy you've been all day, they can't wait for you to get through the door. They just have to tell you how lonely and miserable they've been without you even if you just went to the mailbox. You want to show them off dontcha?

That's the wonderful thing about this project, it is everybody doing all of the things that they care about most at the same time and then sharing it with the rest of the world. Eat that Facebook!

Mark your calendar, follow the link, sign up and then make your plans, you gotta have a plan cause the wild and wily animals in that delightful herd we call humanity get wary when a camera comes out. You have to stalk or hide or ambush them to get that National Geographic shot.
