Re: Long live WPPD 2009!

Hi,

I'm writing from Brazil, so I can say that Taco is right in some point of view - we really have
many programs that work with poor children, but that't not all.

Here in Brazil, b&w photographic paper, or even film, is not so cheap, so a lot of these
programs don't keep working with pinhole because of the costs.

I really can say that mostly of the brazilians who sent their pinhole pics are entusiastics of the
technic.

And I agree: digital pinhole would not work with these programs 'cause the same reason:
cost of a digital camera to be turned into a pinhole camera.

I myself do a project in a public school, where we work with photography, and I know how
hard is to buy material (paper, chemics etc.). Anyway I bought with my own money a cheap
webcam who I'm going to turn into a pinhole camera to work with my kids.

I think digital is irreversible, Taco, I'm sorry. :)))

kisses from Brazil
