Happy Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day!!

This message may be a few hours early to folks in New Zealand and Australia, or a day early to folks in the western U.S. and Canada. In any case, the big day is at hand.
So many people contribute to making this event happen; it is impossible to mention them all and give the proper thanks. The web site has a fresh, new look and has been converted to Unicode 8, which is techie talk for the ability to present the site in nearly all languages at once. Thanks to Gregg Kemp for these changes and to Tom Persinger for the web work that keeps the coordinators in touch during prep time. Wolfgang Thoma has done tremendous work getting the language translations in excellent shape, including two new languages, Russian (Nick Shuval) and Turkish (Loris Medici). Nick Dvoracek has been fielding the support questions. Paolo Aldi organized a large publicity team which sent news of WPPD to thousands around the world. Rosanne Stutts has been in touch with teachers encouraging classroom participation.
There are 110 events in the WPPD event listings. All of these events have been organized locally. It is gratifying to see the event listings come in and to realize what a wondrous and, to use a cliché, grassroots effort supports Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. http://www.pinholeday.org/org/team.php
