Taiwan: April 26th 2008, a Usual Day and a Special Day

April 26th, 2008 should be a usual day, no more.
However, this March, Wenwei mentioned about a 24-hr photo activity held in 1992, and Yangphoto decided to hold a 24-hr photo blogging relay on April 26th:
照片具有歷史意義
影像能表達生命力
相機掌握在你手上
按下生命感動的快門
Images can reveal our vitality.
When you hold your camera,
Press the shutter to record the touching moments in your life.
In response to this call,
來自台灣各個角落的一百九十位攝影者在當天拿起相機，按下快門，接力記錄台灣的24小時。
這些照片與連結將在今天（5月5日）在網路部落格完整呈現….
00:00-07:00:People finishing yesterday's work, people preparing for a new day, and people supporting the the former two groups of people.
07:00-11:00:People eating breakfast, people starting working, and people taking a day off.
11:00-15:00:Young people and cats waking up and hanging around, people keeping working, and people attending activities.
15:00-17:00:People keeping working, people playing, and more people playing.
16:54-21:00:People with their family, people with their friends, people with themselves, and people with food.
21:00-24:00:People keeping working, people going home, and people trying to find their home.
Yangphoto said,
而從這些照片來看，參與這次活動有媒體的攝影記者、高度使用網路部落格的學生、為人師表的老師、一般的市井小民…等[…]容或影像水準不一，容或是負面的台灣，但他們真實呈現了所看到的台灣。
Wenwei said this kind of activity can
使在台灣的每一人有命運共同體的體認。
He also hopes that in the future we can have
台灣企業的２４小時、台灣勞工的２４小時、台灣婦女的２４小時.
There is also a video including some photos in this activity on youtube (uploaded by ohho0625):
