The WPPD1 complete exhibit

Hi all,

It has been a month since the first worldwide pinhole photography day on
April 29, and all during the month of May, pinholer's have been uploading
their photos to the pinholeday.org web site gallery. The doors closed at
midnight (GMT) last night and we ended up with 291 photos from 291
participants from 24 countries. Nice going, guys!

This event originated from the members of this list - this "family" of
pinhole enthusiasts from around the world, and we should all feel very
proud of what we accomplished in making this happen. I would like to thank
(one last time) everyone who contributed to it's success - not only the
members of the coordinating team and translators (listed at
http://www.pinholeday.org/org/?page=team ), but each of you who posted an
announcement at your local photo stores, community bulletin boards, on the
internet, etc) All of these things helped significantly. I feel confident
that there will be a WPPD 2 next year (April 28) and with everyone's help,
it will be even bigger and better.

I personally can't help but feel a lot of pride in being a part of our
pinhole "family". I also feel inspired by the turnout of people who
participated in pinhole day - expressed in the diversity, imagination, and
quality of the images made that day. Anytime you need a boost in life,
just visit the gallery as a reminder of what you can do, and who your
friends are.

(forever at risk of sounding sentimental),

Gregg
