Every time I hit the WWPD Gallery to see what's new, there are always a few
more images that are absolutely amazing. Very, very well done!
Thanks to all who organized and publicized, thanks to all who made and
submitted great images, thanks for all who worked to do the excellent web
site... thanks, thanks, and more thanks!

Michael,
If I may speak for the rest of the coordinating team, thanks for the
compliments on the web site. And I join you in saluting everyone who made
plans and took photos on pinhole day. The imagination and diversity of the
work shared in the exhibit has been a real joy - and something new every day!
Congratulations to us all! The idea was born on this list and it has been
a real whirlwind of effort to bring it to life. Thanks especially go to
the hard work of Guy Glorieux, Jean Daubas, and Diana Bloomfield. These
three people in particular assumed much of the responsibility for getting
out the word and coordinating the development of a multi-language web site
(12 languages). It would be hard to find any organization anywhere in the
world able to accomplish such a feat in such a short time! And without a
budget!
Thanks also go to coordinating team members Larry Fratkin, Ed Levinson,
George Smyth, Zernike Au (who had the original idea), Pam Niedermayer, and
Guillermo Penate, plus the many volunteers around the world who translated
web pages and promotional material into their native languages, and those
who helped spread the word about pinhole day in all kinds of ways. I
encourage everyone to take a look at the list of people who contributed to
this event at http://www.pinholeday.org/org/?page=team and shame on anyone
who hasn't seen the on-line exhibit (is that possible?).
I regret there isn't a guest book or some other means of discussion on the
pinhole day photos. But, this morning I added a link to send an email to
individual contributors to the exhibit, if anyone would like to do
so. And, of course, this discussion list can serve as a place to share
anything related to pinhole day or the exhibit. And please speak up with
any ideas for next year.
Gregg
