The New York Times had "A Moment in Time" request for photos today. I read about it at our cabin this morning but I didn't read carefully. I thought the photo was supposed to be taken at 11:00 EDT this morning, and so I took one at about 10:00 CDT.
I wasn't about to get back online to submit my photo from the cabin; no way am I going to send a photo at 24kbps, and I am very reluctant to get on more than ten minutes a day. It really tries my patience to wait and wait for pages to download.
Now I'm back in Duluth and looked up "A Moment in Time". Aarrgghh!!! It was for 15:00 EDT, not 11:00 EDT. The Times will forgive a minute or two variation from the "Moment", but not four hours!
Of course, some of you will say I should have read the article more carefully. I guess you'r right. But after waiting for five minutes for the front page to load…
Oh! Oh! I'm saved! The article said 11:00 but the submission FAQ says 15:00 UTC! That translates to 10:00 CDT! My picture was taken at 09:59:59 CDT.
Look for it in The New York Times soon.
And since I retain the copyright, I may put it on Flickr, but not tonight. This has been enough excitement for the day.
