Worldwide Pinhole Day

Digital Pinhole of Hodges Park Lake

As I hinted on Day 95, with my photo of the book I am reading, Worldwide Pinhole Day is coming.

Worldwide Pinhole Day is April 25th. I have wanted to make a pinhole camera for a while now, and shoot with it.

I have on various outings used a digital pinhole lens; with very little success, but I think as a group it will be fun.

I have seen some awesome pinhole photographs on Flickr, and it can be a fun project to learn about photography with.

I am trying to get a group together for April 25th, to meet at the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock, TX and go on a photoadventure armed with pinhole cameras, with the simple goal of taking great Lo-Fi photographs with a pinhole camera.

Event Info on Facebook.

Plan on meeting at around noon on Saturday, and bring your camera and money for lunch.

There are a variety of options available online for building a pinhole camera.

I am making 1 based on one of the paper designs in the book I have.

Relevant to my interests! I’ve been wanting to make a pinhole camera for some time now, but I’ve been too lazy to make one myself thus far.

Should be fun, I have a book of cameras, my recommendation is the matchbox pinhole camera.
