Hello and a question/request

[Ed Emmerson]

Hi there, First post and a totally selfish one but one i think would be great...

I'm a director living in London and am getting married in a few weeks (3rd May 2008 at 2pm) and am trying to organise a surprise for my fiance.

I'd like to try and get as many photographers to take a picture at that exact time 3/5/08 at 2pm (London time) all around the world, and then gather them all together so we have a nice "look what everybody was doing at the moment we got married thing"...

so i was wondering if anybody on here would like to contribute, I couldn't pay anyone but i'd collect them all together and post them all online for you to see.

If you could also point me in the right direction of what forum to post this in that would be great.

Thanks very much.

Oh and the photos would be of anything you like, just something lovely and marriage inspired i suppose.

many thanks again -

OK, Ed... dumb American here... the date would be May 5, '08, right? On this side of the pond we tend to go month/day/year. You know us Americans!

By the way, isn't London 0:00 GMT? I'm -6:00 GMT... can't say I'll play along but if it crosses my mind I won't mind picking up my trusty D80 and making an exposure of where ever it is I'm at and whatever it is I'm doing. Short of a shower or something like that!

Hi there, Ed! Hope your Wedding Day goes according to plan and the sun shines for you both. Congratulations! Hope you have a happy life. And wife! I live around 20 miles from London so might take a quick shot outside at 2.00 p.m.
Best wishes.
Stoic

I'm in, as long as I set an alarm and don't forget. I'll do my best to take a shot.

Welcome and congratulations!

Hi guys,

just wondered if any of you took a photograph for the album i'm trying to put together?

Would be great if you do it.

Ps. she said yes and the wedding went great!
