| Be part of something big, (through something very small). |
Everyone in the world is invited to take a picture with a pinhole camera, upload it to http://www.pinholeday.org and become part of the Internet's premier pinhole photography gallery.
Pinhole cameras have no lens at all and pinhole photos are taken simply through a small hole. It is very fun, educational and creative to use these kinds of cameras that can even be self-made with various boxes or cans. Any container that can be made light-tight is enough: from tea boxes to tomato cans, from shoe boxes to wooden ones.
An increasing number of people are showing interest in the exciting practice of pinhole photography. In 2001, 291 pinhole photographers from 24 countries took part in the WPPD and the web exhibition. Last year they were 3,517 participants from 70 countries.
You don’t even need to be working in the medium of film. You can also use pinhole ‘lenses’ attached to digital SLR’s. The choice is yours!
WPPD stems from the enthusiastic work by dozens of volunteers scattered worldwide. More information and the full program (constantly updated) can be found at www.pinholeday.org
