RE: Where are all the pinholer's?

Thank al of you for your positive feedback about the alternative universe.
Sometimes I just get a little over whelmed by the "digital revolution" in my
day to day school actives.
I've come to the conclusion that I can satisfy by director by just double
booking a digital class along side of an analogue one so I can continue to
offer them... Of course if both run, my assistant & I will be in for a wild
ride (looking forward to that!)
Y'all come over & stay a day or 4... Plenty of 50% scholarships available...
(boy will I get killed for that.. 8o) )
Regards
Andy

To everyone who has contributed to this list over the years:

Thank you.

This was the first resource that I found to help me get started in pinhole
photography. I asked you guys some questions, and you answered me
enthusiastically. When f295 started, I joined in enthusiastically. For me,
the f295 forum came to replace this list in my pinhole world. I like to see
activity here, but I will not miss its absence like I would miss the absence
of f295.

As for the health of pinhole and alt-process photography in general, I agree
with Katherine - I think that interest is high, and that some of the most
interesting photography being done fits into one of these categories. Hand
made photography will never be for everyone, and the students at Andy's
seminars will ebb and flow. But I think that photography has been freed from
the conventions of criticism and from the technology of the factory. I think
that this is to be celebrated both in images and in words.

Thank you to Eric for hosting this list, and to all of you for contributing
to it.

Now go out there and shoot some film!
