For this project I decided to show two different experiences in two different countries, but at the same time. My girlfriend is currently in Switzerland visiting her aunt and uncle. So I decided to take a picture at the exact same time she takes a picture in Switzerland to show the six hour difference in TIME. Even though we are in the same moment while taking each picture, we aren't experiencing the same time of day. When I took my 11:00 A.M. picture she was busy taking her 5:00 P.M. picture, but to us we were in the same moment. In some way we connected, almost like we were together doing the same thing, but really we are an ocean apart and experiencing a six hour difference. This project helped me realize that everyone in the world is experiencing something at the same time I am. They could be a day in time ahead of me or hours behind. Now I can understand how time is used to just give us structure, but in all actuality we are living the same moment.Sunday, May 18, 2008

I dig it!
Funny timing (no pun intended), as I just watched What the Bleep Do We Know last night. Your project reminds me of how the one guy explains that in labs in the U.S. right now it is possible to see photos that show subatomic particles that are in two places at once.
