FYI ~ the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day

Pinhole photograph with 90mm lensWorldwide Pinhole Photography Day is fast approaching. Put the date - April, 29 - on your calender, poke a hole in something, mount it on your camera and pinhole away. It's fun, it's easy, it's pinhole-a-riffic.

WPPD is organized (if such a thing is possible) by pinholeday.org. If it strikes your fancy you can send your PPs to them for inclusion in their WPPD gallery. You can PP from WPPD's past on their site.

What I'd like to see is for a bunch of you guys and dolls to give it a shot (or more) and send the results to The Landscapist. I'll start a Pinhole/Alternative Process Forum if there is enough interest. I think that it's good to get out and try something different every now and again.

Come on, give it a try. What do you have to lose except your rigid adherence to photographic perfection?

BTW, re: Pinhole photograph with 90mm lens - the 90mm lens is not on the camera. It's on the porch railing along with a lupe. All photos - 4×5 Type 59 Polaroid.

Icy artic blast

I'm out running errands. Be back later. In the interim I'm trying to conserve heat for tonight's artic blast. Low's predicted to drop to -40F in traditionally cold spots - that means you, Aaron.

PS - for you spell-checkers out there, pun intended.
