72 COUNTRIES AND COUNTING COMMITTED TO WORLDWIDE SHOOTING OCTOBER 10

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Citizens and photographers from at least 72 countries have committed to shoot a photograph for Worldwide Moment on October 10, 2010 at 10:10A.M. GMT. This simultaneous photography event is organized annually to generate cultural education, international community, and peace.

Worldwide Moment partners include Yoko Ono’s ImaginePeace.com and international photo community Lomography. Photographs and stories from the moment will be uploaded and viewed at worldwidemoment.org and published in Snapixel Magazine, San Francisco.

The event, held annually since 2007, is the creation of filmmaker and photographer Brett Brownell. “Worldwide Moment allows people around the world to represent themselves as an artist, activist, photojournalist, or individual,” Brownell said. “Whether young or old, amateur or professional, film or digital, Holga or camera phone, this is for everyone.”

Last year’s collection premiered in Florida representing 1,250 photographs. Worldwide Moment also produced subsequent exhibits, including a show for the Cooper Union in New York City. Upcoming exhibits for 2010 are expected for San Francisco, New York, and Tasmania.

Proceeds will benefit the Pablove Foundation and Pablove Shutterbugs, giving children with cancer a voice through photography.

This event is free and open to everyone. Participants can sign up at WorldwideMoment.org.
