25th April, which luckily for all is a Sunday this year. In Oz and NZ it's never a problem to remember because it is ANZAC Day - our war remembrance day - and is always a public holiday.

Thanks for reminding us all.
I'll take some pinholes and hope to post her the 25.

It's a day for everyone on the globe to make pinhole pictures.

I'm looking forward to this year, I always forget, then see wonderful images online and think "Oh yeah, I keep meaning to build a pinhole...". I then forget again until about April 28th of the following year :P

This year I will be up in beautiful Noosa (Aus) for my brothers wedding. We'll be out at the dawn service at the local RSL on the 25th, so I'm hoping to get a nice image or two, even if it is just with a pinhole plate on an existing camera (is that even allowed around here?! )

If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Rayko Photography Center always has a big open house for World Pinhole Photography Day. They offer supplies and instruction for making pinhole photographs and pinhole cameras. There is also a juried gallery show of pinhole photographs.

I'll have to tape together a matchbox and some 35mm cannisters. It's been a while.
