I got reminded that today … the 26th of April 2009 is the World Pinhole Photography Day through the Four Corners Dark blog this morning. I told myself that this year … I wanna be part of it and immediately loaded my Holga WPC with a roll of film and tried my best to finish it by the end of the day. Oh well … it wasn’t really hard because the camera only produces 6 shots in pano format. The only challenge was to make sure at least I have a couple of decent photos out of that roll. I must admit that I am a big screw-up when it comes to estimating exposures … especially with pinhole cameras.

The World Pinhole Photography Day is an international event created to promote and celebrate the art of pinhole photography.

From their website …

“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.”

I just came back from the lab and luckily most of them turned out fine (for my standard). A couple of them looks overexposed (duh!) but at least I can still see the subjects in them. Haha! Okay, I promise to take more photos during the next WPPD in 2010.

I used a roll of long expired Kodak Ektachrome 10o and had it cross processed. Strangely a couple of these photos doesn’t look really cross-processed (those shot at the basketball court). Hmm. Could be my crazy scanner?
