This is an event that I thought some members might enjoy doing. I got an email this morning about the event and thought I would post it for anyone that would like to participate this year.


The thirteenth annual Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day will be celebrated on Sunday, April 28, 2013. Please join the celebration! Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day If you can help us organize our social media presence, please email [email protected] .
The Details: The coordinators of the thirteenth annual Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day are busy preparing for this upcoming major global festival. It will be the traditional last Sunday in April; the next one will be April 28, 2013. Anyone, anywhere in the world, who makes a pinhole photograph on Pinhole Day, can scan the image and upload it to the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day website where it will become part of the premier gallery of lensless photography.
Last year, 3865 participants from 74 countries contributed images to the WPPD 2012 Gallery. Over 200 events - workshops, exhibits, lectures, etc. - were held throughout the world. All of these events were coordinated locally by volunteers.
If you don't have this celebration marked on your calendar please do it soon! Join the world in this joyous celebration of simple photography.
Watch the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day website for more information. We are also on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/PinholeDay and Twitter at https://twitter.com/pinholeday .
HOW YOU CAN HELP...
- We are looking for help with our publicity efforts in various countries and regions. These local or regional coordinators would be part of the team that our Publicity Coordinators, Paolo Aldi and Patrizia Di Siro, are assembling to spread the word about our sublime, yet joyously wacky, annual pinhole exhibit. Mostly this would be emails to publications, schools, galleries and other groups in your area. If you would like to help with this effort, please contact the publicity coordinators at [email protected] .
- Translators for the numerous languages provided on the website are important contributors to this international event. In addition to providing or updating translations for the website, these volunteers also help us respond to the many questions we receive in many languages. If you can help with translations, please contact [email protected] .
- If you'd like to organize an event, such as a workshop, lecture or a photo shoot, you can add it to the events calendar at Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day - Events or contact events at [email protected] . An event can be as simple as a pinhole excursion with friends or interested photographers, or it can be a workshop or exhibit. Check the "Workshop Resources" documents on the Pinhole Day Resource page for ideas.
- If you are a teacher, your students can participate in WPPD as a group. To do this, enter your class's participation as an event at http://www.pinholeday.org/events/addevent.php . Choose "classroom" as the type of event. Your class will be listed as a "group" in the gallery. When your class is selected from the group list, it will create a virtual exhibit of your students' work. For more information, please contact [email protected] .
- If you are a graphic designer... we're interested in suggestions for new or alternative posters, website banners, or other graphics. Please submit your ideas to [email protected] .
Another major holiday is in the works for April 28, 2013! We all look forward to your photograph in the 2013 gallery.
