What is World Wide Pinhole Day?
This is an international event created to promote and celebrate the art of pinhole photography. On this unique day, they encourage people throughout the world to participate in the simple act of making a pinhole photograph. This is an opportunity to share their visions and help spread the unusual beauty of this historical photographic process.
Why Pinhole Photography?
It is a unique personal experience! Pinhole photography allows you to make a photograph that requires only a light-tight container with a tiny hole in one side (as a camera) and any photo-sensitive surface in it. You can adapt an existing camera, or make the camera yourself. The experience of image-making becomes a little more special when created with your own hand-made camera.
Who is leading the workshop?
John Moore, from Flying Monkey Studio, has been making pinhole cameras & pinhole images since 2000. Examples of his work can be viewed at www.flyingmonkeystudio.com.
