(WPPD 2002 Special Events) A Post-Holiday Wish

Dear All,

As Guy mentioned in his pre-Christmas update on WPPD 2002 activies,
I'm coordinating special events for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day
2002. Because the swirl of activities that surrounds the holidays, I
waited until now to ask list members for their help, suggestions and
contributions.

I hope to compile a "how to" paper on organizing a pinholeday
event and then post the result on the pinholeday site
www.pinholeday.org. The idea is to create a mini-syllabus, or
agenda, or a list of suggestions about what can be done in a day; the
type of facilities needed (is a darkroom necessary in all cases?);
what
ideas worked well last year; if building cameras, what type can be
built and used in a day; etc. I have an introductory outline of
pinhole photography topics that I use when giving talks to various
groups. Please let me know your thoughts and
experiences and, if you have any handouts that you'd be willing to
share, they will be appreciated. I'll blend these pieces into one and
post the result to the pinholeday site. To keep the discussion list
focused and uncluttered, please respond to directly to my email
address: twmiller@mr.net.

Also, Gregg Kemp has created a database of WPPD events
http://www.pinholeday.org/participate/events.php. You can add your
event to the database, or query the database by geographical area to
find events close to you. Many, many thanks to Gregg for creating
this remarkable tool.

And, a Happy New Year of pinholing to you, too!

Tom
