According to ABC Open on November 21, 2011 Grafton Regional Gallery inspired this:
We put out the call and you answered it! Over 1200 images flooded in from around regional Australia, all captured at a moment (well actually two moments) in time - 11.11 am and 11.11 pm on 11.11.2011.
We've selected some for the video above, and you'll be able to see a full gallery of images later in week.
What you've captured is a fantastic snapshot of Australian life in 2011. You showed us the saleyards in Tamworth, a theatre roof in Bundaberg, and the agricultural show in Albany. People all around the country took part. Some took a break from their work day, others got back to work, while we also saw some great shots of people enjoying the great outdoors, including the tennis ladies from Kambah in the ACT. From getting a haircut, to feeding the seagulls, to even getting married - so many stories captured in a single image.
We loved seeing so many groups of people getting into the spirit, especially all the school groups. And we saw some great interpretations of the numbers. I just loved the souvenir spoons.
And we were moved by some of the images of Remembrance Day, old mates catching up, the meeting of generations and this stark image of the cost of war, so poignantly captured by Lois Krake.
Wherever you were, whatever you were doing, thanks for taking part. We hope you had a great time - we know we did - and that you'll share the 11.11 time capsule, the results of your huge group effort, far and wide.
