A Pinhole Can Change Your Photography
The next pinhole day is April 28, 2013
I get a bit excited this time every year as I begin to plan for the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day event coming up at the end of April. Why get excited about a pinhole? Because it is playful and magical. It pushes your creativity and it is fun!
You can follow my posts as I begin to discuss some of the crazy possibilities that pinhole cameras offer. Each year the event gets more and more interesting as people from all over the planet submit work to the WPPD website gallery. When the day arrives, I will show my work here as well as on the WPPD gallery.
WPPD is a great event for anyone interested in photography. It gets us all back into the basics of light and capture.
I'll be talking about pinholes, zone plates, creating a matchbox camera, making pinholes, alternative camera designs, digital pinhole, HDR pinhole, innovation, pinhole optics, simplicity and many other topics around pinhole photography. I'll even create a poster that you can download and post so that others can know about the event.
In the gallery are some of my pinhole works from past WPPD years.
