A Happy Year of Pinholin' to You

Dear All,

It is midday here with the sun shining brightly over a cool ( -9 C)
but snowless landscape. One year of pinholin' is drawing to a close
and another dawning brightly on the time horizon.

The 2002 Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day was a tremendous success,
with 902 folks from 35 countries contributing to the celebration's
exhibit www.pinholeday.org/gallery. Now we're less than four months
from the next celebration on April 27, 2003. Some related events are
already scheduled with many others in the works; the press release is
being ironed out; the web site is being prepared for 2003; the gallery
gift shop is open.

In "Alice in Wonderland," the March Hare and Mad Hatter celebrated
un-birthdays every day of the year but one. We're lucky to have this
discussion list as our ongoing un-PinholeDay celebration. And yet
there is nothing like the main event on April 27. Please consider
participating in the 2003 WPPD celebration by organizing or attending
a workshop; a get-together with friends for a tiny aperture "shoot" on
Pinhole Day; or create your own solo flight. Then watch the
internet's premier exhibit of pinhole photography unfold through the
end of May!

From my heart and on behalf of the entire 2003 WPPD Coordinating
Committee: A Happy New Year of Pinholin' to you and yours!!

P.S. A special thanks to Gregg Kemp, who's expertise and dedication
makes the discussion list and WPPD exhibit possible.
