Humanclock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Humanclock, created by Daniel Craig Giffen of Portland, Oregon, is an online clock designed to show photographs of the current time uploaded by users worldwide. Time is commonly indicated by a sign conspicuously placed within the frame of the photograph, but is also often shown by formations of objects, bodies and so on. As a rule, the time exists within the photograph without the benefit of any image manipulation.

Photographs appear primarily in digital format, although an option exists for analog time as well.

Humanclock features pictures from every continent on the planet, including Antarctica. Notable persons who have posed for Humanclock pictures include Andy Summers of The Police, author Jonathan Raymond, Richard Buckner, Georgia Hubley of Yo La Tengo, Doug Martsch of Built to Spill, Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney/Quasi, members of the band The Weakerthans, Greg Shaw, Stew, Dan Zanes, Colin Brooks, John Doe, and Lance Armstrong.
