Agreeing with Mark... Synchronicity is problematic. I have had good times/good light for these exercises, but a broader interpretation of the day of the equinox would be better. I especially like the idea of picking a day (weekend?) and shooting our lives, our cities, or our country's issues of the day. Regards, Bob S.
