Dear List Members, Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, April 28, is a little less than three months away. Seems like a long time, but it could be just two or three lengthy exposures...
Here are three pieces of news about WPPD 2002 and Related Events: 1) Paper for Workshops Chris Peregoy, a long-time contributor to this list, is generously offering a 125-sheet box of Kodak RC mat surface paper to low-cost WPPD workshops that will be held at art centers that are open to the public. "Low-cost," rather than "free," recognizes that an art center may need to charge a minimal fee to recover costs such as chemicals for processing the paper. When the workshop is posted to the WPPD Events page, Chris will email the event's contact person to complete the donation process. Chris mentioned that he has enough paper to supply up to 16 workshops. 2) WPPD Workshop Guide A newly-created "WPPD Workshop and Event Planning Guide" has been posted to the Pinhole Day website at http://www.pinholeday.org/support/ws_resources.php. This downloadable .pdf file contains information and suggestions that should save time and help make your event a success. 3) Group Exhibits A new feature for the WPPD 2002 online exhibit is a robust search capability. You will be able to select a set of images by name, geographic area or group. The group selection is based on events posted to the WPPD Related Events page. If you are organizing a WPPD related workshop, lecture or other public event, be sure to add your workshop to the Pinhole Day Related Events Page at http://www.pinholeday.org/participate/events.php. TEACHERS: if you are planning a WPPD activity with your class, please contact me at events.coordina...@pinholeday.org. Let me know the name of your school and class, where you're located, etc. and your class can be listed in the group selection for the WPPD exhibit. Thanks to Gregg Kemp's wizardry for these new search capabilities. And, thank you in advance for your interest and participation. Tom Miller
