Reminder: this year’s Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is this Sunday, 29 April, 2007! Get or make a pinhole camera, shoot on Sunday, and upload your best shot to the 2007 gallery (also check out previous years).
There are heaps of workshops around the world on Pinhole Day that cover both camera building and shooting and processing, check the WPPD events page for something near you.
