Rejoice! It’s that time of year again. WPD2010 is on April 25th this year, so grab your porridge tin and starting snapping!
So what is Pinhole day? Basically, make a pinhole camera (the more DIY the better) and take some photos. Workshops are occurring worldwide so check out the WPD website at http://www.pinholeday.org/ to see if there is one near you.
The website has more info about the big day:
This is an international event created to promote and celebrate the art of pinhole photography.
On this unique day, we encourage people throughout the world
- to take some time off from the increasingly technological world we live in and to participate in the simple act of making a pinhole photograph.
- to share their visions and help spread the unusual beauty of this historical photographic process.
You can post your results on the Flickr WPD group too: http://www.flickr.com/groups/wpd/
As Holgablog is concentrating more on ‘Roid week this year for specific articles (all these special weeks/days come at the same time!), take a look at some of last years articles:

We will also be having a special PINHOLE Flickr Friday this coming Friday
