To join an MI Event
MI is a synchronized, time-specific global photography event that only lasts only one minute. Watch for the posts here and on Facebook for the announcement of the date and time of the event. When an event is announced, the time is given in UTC time and is then converted for local times for it’s participants all around the world.
At the specified MI event time, participants take a photo of where they are/what they are doing or seeing at that exact moment. Your photo can be pre-planned, or off the cuff. The idea is to create for just a brief moment in time, little windows into the lives of other participants around the world. The photo taking and subsequent viewing is great fun. Even more captivating is that feeling of unity, however brief, that is caused by the simultaneous anticipation that comes with taking part in a coordinated global event.
Submissions
After the event is over, photos are then emailed to the Mental Beans! blog (deadline for submissions will be posted with the announcement) at: mentalbeans (at) tuliptreestudios (dot) com. Photos will later appear on the Mental Beans! blog and on our Flickr gallery in a group exhibition soon after. All are welcome, and it is the goal of MI to increase participation with every passing event, so please spread the word and to invite your loved ones!
