Sunday 24th April is 'World Pinhole Day'. Thousands of camera enthusiasts will be taking 'pin hole' pictures. To celebrate this weÌýdecided toÌýtake some pinholeÌýphotographs of Today.
Pinhole imagery allows anyone to indulge in the art of photography. A movement hasÌýrecently been formedÌýto counter the demons of the increasingly technological world we live in.
'World Pinhole' day falls on the last Sunday in April. The organisers are keen to encourage enthusiasts to make their own off the peg camera. One of the organisers, Justin Quinnell, suggests people build their 'camera', take a 'pinhole' picture and load their image onto the pinholeday website. QuinnellÌýhopes this site will become home to thousands of pinhole photographs taken fromÌýaround the globe.
"In a thousand years time, whatever happens with future technologies, people will still be discovering wonder in the image forming properties of a small hole" Justin Quinnell, Pinhole photographer.

Why Pinhole Photography?
* Pinhole photography allows you to make a photograph that requires only a light-tight container (box, can etc) 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 home-made camera.
* With your own camera, infinite depth-of-field, skewed perspectives, and slower exposures, you may ultimately become more creative and more selective about what you choose to photograph. Magical things happen in pinhole photography.
