I understand that Boulder, Colorado has adopted this exposure time calculator photography as it’s official time zone.

Having worked close to 20 years in that city, and lived in its shadows for longer than that, visiting as one of those awful "bridge and tunnel people" from the time I was a child,I have to say that I truly appreciate this perspective. No doubt it could be done in any large city with an underground. I guess I'm just like everybody else in that I want other people to understand, on some level, my own experiences. That city is so loud, so packed with sensory overload, so full of humanity's best, worst and everything in between, that when somebody slows all of that shit down in such a lovely way, well...you gotta give it props. The subway platform for the 4,5,6 (green) lines under Grand Central Terminal is narrow enough to spit across. Concentration helps, wanting to get the f' out of there because it's jammed is normal and understandable. I sure don't miss the city. But I do get sentimental wondering if anyone in the distant future will appreciate its history and how such a stunning array of people kept it going for so long. Anyway...my two cents.
