Dear All, It is midday here with the sun shining brightly over a cool ( -9 C) but snowless landscape. One year of pinholin' is drawing to a close and another dawning brightly on the time horizon.
The 2002 Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day was a tremendous success, with 902 folks from 35 countries contributing to the celebration's exhibit www.pinholeday.org/gallery. Now we're less than four months from the next celebration on April 27, 2003. Some related events are already scheduled with many others in the works; the press release is being ironed out; the web site is being prepared for 2003; the gallery gift shop is open. In "Alice in Wonderland," the March Hare and Mad Hatter celebrated un-birthdays every day of the year but one. We're lucky to have this discussion list as our ongoing un-PinholeDay celebration. And yet there is nothing like the main event on April 27. Please consider participating in the 2003 WPPD celebration by organizing or attending a workshop; a get-together with friends for a tiny aperture "shoot" on Pinhole Day; or create your own solo flight. Then watch the internet's premier exhibit of pinhole photography unfold through the end of May! >From my heart and on behalf of the entire 2003 WPPD Coordinating Committee: A Happy New Year of Pinholin' to you and yours!!

A special thanks to Gregg Kemp, who's expertise and dedication makes the discussion list and WPPD exhibit possible.
