Hi everybody! I am delighted to tell you that we now have a Press Release ready to go to announce the world that the 1st Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day will take place on April 29, 2001!
You can read it at http://www.pinholeday.org/org/?page=pr where it is also available in PDF format for those who wish to download it. We have moved a long way since the first draft I posted on the list, thanks to the hard work of Diana, Gregg and Jean and to the input of many others from the Coordinating Team and from many of you on the list. Before we can actually circulate the Press Release, there is still a lot to be done on the Web site - which will be our main reference point for information on the event. The Press Release also needs to be translated in other languages. So I would ask that you wait until your Coordinating Team is ready before you start distributing the Press Release around. In the meantime, however, it may be a good idea to start thinking about whom you think you could send it to and which promotion avenues you can see in your immediate environment (e.g. newspapers, photo clubs, galleries, etc..., not to forget all your friends and colleagues, even remotely interested in photography). Promotion will be very much a grass-roots activity, hopefully involving each and everyone of you in a coordinated fashion, so that we reach the maximum number of peole on the 5 continents and make this event a real success! And now, enjoy the reading! Guy Glorieux
