Another Major Holiday

Dear Fellow Pinholers,

The coordinators of the sixth Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day are busy preparing for this upcoming major global festival. It will be the traditional last Sunday in April; the next one will be April 30, 2006. Anyone, anywhere in the world, who makes a pinhole photograph on Pinhole Day, can scan the image and upload it to the http://www.pinholeday.org website where it will become part of this premier gallery of lenless photography.

Last year, 1815 participants from 49 countries contributed images to the WPPD 2005 Gallery. Over 100 events - workshops, exhibits, lectures, etc. - were held throughout the world. Local volunteers coordinated all of these events.

If you don't have this celebration marked on your calendar please do it soon! Join the world in this joyous celebration of simple photography.

Watch the http://www.pinholeday.org website for more information.

HOW YOU CAN HELP...
- We are looking for help with our publicity efforts in various countries and regions. These local or regional coordinators would be part of the team that our Publicity Coordinator, Stefano Piva, is assembling to spread the word about our sublime yet joyously wacky annual pinhole exhibit. Mostly this would be emails to publications, schools, galleries, etc, in your area. If you would like to help with this effort, please contact stefano@pinholeday.org.

- If you'd like to organize an event, such as a workshop, lecture or a photo "shoot", you can add it to the events calendar at http://www.pinholeday.org/events or contact Tom Persinger at events_at_pinholeday.org.

- If you are a teacher, your can participate in WPPD a group. To do this, enter your class's participation as an event at
http://www.pinholeday.org/events/addevent.php.
Choose "classroom" as the type of event. Your class will be listed as a "group" in the gallery. When your class is selected from the gallery’s group list, it will create a virtual exhibit of only your students' work. If you would like more information about participating, please contact our Education Coordinator, Rosanne Stutts, at rosanne@pinholeday.org.

- If you are a graphic designer... we're interested in suggestions
for new or alternative logos. Please submit your ideas to Gregg Kemp at
gregg@pinholeday.org.

Another major holiday is in the works for April 30, 2006!

Tom,
