I thought PF members may be interested. Marilyn This is a reminder that the coordinators of the fourth 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 25, 2004. Anyone, anywhere in the world, who makes a pinhole photograph on Pinhole Day, can scan the image and upload it to the www.pinholeday.org website where it will become part of this premier gallery of lenless photography. Last year, 1082 participants from 42 countries contributed images to the WPPD 2003 Gallery. Over 70 events - workshops, exhibits, lectures, etc. - were held throughout the world. All of these events were coordinated 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 www.pinholeday.org website for more information. 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 Coordinator, Paolo Aldi, is assembling to spread the word about our sublime yet joyously wacky annual pinhole exhibit. Mostly this would be emails to publications, schools, galleries, etc, in your area. If you would like to help with this effort, please contact paolo@pinholeday.org. - 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 www.pinholeday.org/events or contact events@pinholeday.org. - If you are a teacher, you can participate in WPPD in a couple of different ways. First, your class can participate 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. Second, Rosanne Stutts, our Education Coordinator, faciliates an online discussion for teachers at http://www.pinholevisions.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=30. If you would like to become part of this discussion, please contact Rosanne at rosanne@pinholeday.org. - If you are a graphic designer... we're interested in suggestions for a new, or alternative, logos. Please submit your ideas to gregg@pinholeday.org. Another major holiday is in the works for April 25, 2004! Many thanks, Tom Miller WPPD 2004 Coordinating Team Leader
