A local performance art group called Improv Arizona organized their first ever flash mob freeze during First Friday in downtown Phoenix on May 1. Volunteers gathered at a predetermined area where a concentration of art-goers would be and "froze" in place for five full minutes. The release of helium balloons by organizers signaled the freeze and an air horn let participants know when the five minutes had passed. Then everyone "unfroze" and spread out into the crowd like nothing had happened.
I knew that taking a "normal" photo wouldn't really illustrate this story because photographs in general will freeze anything in the frame. I figured I would set up my camera on a tripod and shoot at an extremely slow shutter speed so that anyone that wasn't part of the flash mob freeze would be blurred as they moved around.
