World Pinhole Day - 26 April 2009

[Christopher Walrath]

It is fast approaching. What are you plans? I intend to take one of my 35mm matchboxes to the beach and then come home, process it and try a print.

I'm thinking of going back to the pinhole lensboard for my 4x5 and using up a few sheets of 4x5 film left around here from 2005. I don't have an operational enlarger for stuff that big, so it'll be contact prints (or hybrid -- "gasp!")

My newer option is the Bronica SQ-Hole I've used the last two years.

I have a long list of subject candidates out and about in eastern PA, but given it has been raining or threatening three of the last four WPPDs, I may end up sticking close to home, as I did last year. I'll definitely go out and do something.

A few years ago we did a big exchange for World Pinhole Day. I never heard from some of my exchanges. If I take a pinhole photograph, I will not join an exchange.

Yeah, that affair was disappointing. I still have one of this:



Image approximately 7.2 x 9.5 mounted for 11 x 14; PM me your snail mail address if you want it (I don't need two on hand).

I am glad that I am not the only one that remembers it that way.

I plan on getting some friends together and doing some pinhole portraits that day. I'll entice them all to my place with beer and make them sit in front of the camera before (and maybe after) they open up a bottle.

Man, why isn't pinhole day on March 17, huh? Or May 5th.

What do Saint Patrick or Karl Marx have to do with pinhole photography?

I'm waiting for the punch line; it's gotta be a funny joke. :0)

I'm hoping to have my 11x14 pinhole camera finished for it.
