PHOTOGRAPH the SOLSTICE

Winter/Summer Solstice: December 21st, 2001
greenmuseum.org

Who: Anyone worldwide with access to a digital camera and the internet.

What: Photograph the sunrise of the Winter Solstice, this December 21st, and send the digital images to us that same day. You will be able to view the Solstice around the world at www.greenmuseum.org.

Images of the Sun will be arranged together as one as they arrive online. A text describing the solstice and its significance from a variety of perspectives as well as brief quotes from artists, scholars and others will accompany the presentation.

Why: Solstice literally means "sun stop", so it's a good time to stop, take notice of the sunrise and celebrate a new beginning. Participate in the creation of a unique online environmental artwork. This is an astronomical event we ALL have in common and have celebrated worldwide for millennia.

Format: JPEG images of the sunrise of the Solstice ONLY: 2-3 images per person, with an email listing name of photographer, local time photograph was taken and location. Send them on Dec 21st to: solstice@greenmuseum.org

Send this link to friends in far away places and help document the solstice!
