Dear All, As Guy mentioned in his pre-Christmas update on WPPD 2002 activies, I'm coordinating special events for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2002. Because the swirl of activities that surrounds the holidays, I waited until now to ask list members for their help, suggestions and contributions.
I hope to compile a "how to" paper on organizing a pinholeday event and then post the result on the pinholeday site www.pinholeday.org. The idea is to create a mini-syllabus, or agenda, or a list of suggestions about what can be done in a day; the type of facilities needed (is a darkroom necessary in all cases?); what ideas worked well last year; if building cameras, what type can be built and used in a day; etc. I have an introductory outline of pinhole photography topics that I use when giving talks to various groups. Please let me know your thoughts and experiences and, if you have any handouts that you'd be willing to share, they will be appreciated. I'll blend these pieces into one and post the result to the pinholeday site. To keep the discussion list focused and uncluttered, please respond to directly to my email address: [email protected]. Also, Gregg Kemp has created a database of WPPD events http://www.pinholeday.org/participate/events.php. You can add your event to the database, or query the database by geographical area to find events close to you. Many, many thanks to Gregg for creating this remarkable tool. And, a Happy New Year of pinholing to you, too! Tom
