Hi everyone, We've been sending this around locally to some cultural lists, but I realized that I haven't posted this to the main list. A group of familiar names have come together to create this event in the Marin Headlands, and we're doubly lucky because it coincides with the Headlands Center for the Arts Spring Open House, which typically pulls in 1000-1500 people.
Anyway, this is the blurb, and if you're in the area, we hope you can make it out for the fun. --Eric Please join us on Sunday, April 28th, for the San Francisco Bay Area celebration of Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2002. Organized by a network of volunteers, WPPD encourages people throughout the world: * to take some time off from the increasingly technological world we live in and to participate in the simple act of making a pinhole photograph. * to share their visions and help spread the unusual beauty of this historical photographic process. Held in conjunction with the Headlands Center for the Arts Spring Open House, and orchestrated by Headlands Affiliate Artist Eric Theise, this Bay Area cornucopia of pinholia will feature: * making your own pinhole photographs using the mini-pin project's one-shot pinhole cameras; photos will be uploaded to the WPPD website and mailed to participants * demonstrations of how to build your own camera by Daisuke Nakabayashi; bring your own light-tight container! * outdoor photography workshops led by Mark Interrante in the Headlands' splendid natural setting * an exhibit of photographs by local pinhole photographers * a screening of pinhole camera movies made by local filmmakers * a room-sized camera obscura in the Westwing of Building 944 When and where: Sunday, April 28th, 2002, from noon to 5pm. Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, Calfornia.
