24 hours to go! Time is counting down, so don't forget to take your photo @ 9:10pm on Sunday 10.10.10!! Very very exciting! :)

WWML were at the Launceston Show this week, and we had a FABULOUS response from the Launceston public. It was fantastic to meet all the lovely people who dropped by our stand to say hi and find out more information about WWM. We can't wait to see your pics!

While we were there James and Scott from The Examiner dropped by to have a chat about WWML, and take a photo for the paper. You can see the article below.


Remember: at 9:10pm, take your photo and then email it in to us @ photo@wwml.info!

WWML and Streets Alive meet Junction 2010!

Worldwide Moment Launceston, in conjunction with Streets Alive, took over the front of Year Zero as part of Junction 2010!

Massive thanks to Sari Young @ Year Zero, the Streets Alive team, everyone who donated images for the artwork, and each and every person who helped us cut out all of those paper dolls!

The photo's on the dolls are a mix of Worldwide Moment 2009 images, as well as people and places around Launceston.

Volunteers!

Shout out for volunteers! Love WWML? Want to get involved? Comment on this post, or send us an email to info@wwml.info. Whether you have an hour to lend a hand, lots of time up your sleeve or have a brilliant idea to help us get the word out - let us know!

A quick update....

Things are very busy at Team WWML at the moment with lots of things happening in the lead up to October 10. Photos have been taken around Launceston for our new website which will hopefully be up within the next fortnight. A big thank you to everyone who helped out with the photo shoot. Massive thank you to Kym, Ken, Sari, Ella and Glen for all their patience and help on the day.

In other quite exciting news, we are pleased to announce that thanks to Streets Alive, we'll be taking over the front of Year Zero from 24th-30th August. Coinciding with Junction 2010, the Streets Alive 2010 festival is an Arts Trail which will convert many of Launceston's public spaces into public galleries. More information about it, as well as what we're up to, can be found in their program (we're on page 7!). We're excited to be a part of this festival and hope everyone will get a chance to check out our installation!

Finally, thank you to everyone who has registered to take part in WWML 2010 and to those who are helping to spread the word. For those who have asked, we are happy to have anyone with a connection to Launceston involved in WWML 2010 regardless of where you are currently living. Also, if you're from Launceston but lucky enough to be on holidays in October, take a photo of where ever you are and send it in. We'll probably be very jealous, but we'll still love to have you involved.

Welcome to Worldwide Moment Launceston

With the website about to go live and our twitter and facebook accounts just created, it's time to get the ball rolling on Worldwide Moment Launceston. For those of you who don't know, Worldwide Moment is an annual photography event which began in 2007 as a way of promoting peace through the global community by the annual creation of synchronised works of art. WWM asks participants to take a photograph at a predetermined time and then email it to them for inclusion on an online gallery. This year's time is 10.10.10 10.10am GMT. More information on them can be found here.

'But what is Worldwide Moment Launceston?' I hear you ask. Worldwide Moment Launceston (or wwml as I like to call it) is a Launceston-based community photography event running in conjunction with Worldwide Moment. On Sunday 10.10.10 9.10pm we want you to take a photo. We're hoping to create a snapshot of the Launceston community at that time so don't worry if you can't think of anything 'special' to photograph. Then, email us the photographs and we will upload them on to our online gallery, to the main WWM website's gallery. Also, we will set up drop off points around town so if you used a Polaroid or film camera you'll be able to hand them in there and we'll scan and upload the photos for you. Lastly (and this in my opinion is the most exciting bit) we'll be printing up all, yes ALL, of the photos we receive and exhibiting them in Launceston in early 2011. (Obviously we will not be uploading or exhibiting any obscene or otherwise offensive photographs so please don't send them in.)

Over the coming months we look forward to telling you more about wwml, our community partners and the people behind the project. In the interim, you can find us here, here and here.
