Me, too. Gotta start using that zoneplated Lubitel I had modified. 64 days and counting....

I have a real life expensive Zero Pinhole that I ain't used much. If I remember, I'll try a couple of films through it in time for April 30th...although I doubt I'll be able to get as amazingly creative as some of the hardcore pinhole nutters. Some of the submissions last year were very cool.

you have a real life Zero? Sheesh, Ed. You have some of the best toys. Break that baby out! :)

Me--I've only got homemade pinholes, zoneplates (like it best in the Lubi-zone I put together) a few sieves, a holgapin (my win for WTCD) and an ultra crappy 35mm get-up - I also sent Ed one a longtime ago. My bets are on my lubi-zone for April 30. :)

OK, OK...I'm an ungrateful git...I do also have a plastic 35mm pinhole that West Coast mailed me over a year ago. I haven't used that baby either.  :-[ I think that is the 'embarrassed' smiley.

This will be my 4th year. Wooo-hoooo!
And, I'm the point of contact for the folks in Mexico, so we are really spreading the opportunity around down south.

i also have the zero pinhole, christmas present off the wife 2 yrs back,   only used it a few times as its a bit of a speciality so guess i should make every effort to break it out,

Apr 30th i think im in amsterdam on my mates stag do -not sure if he pencilled in pinholes into the schedule or not.   will check though.

marked on my calendar. have to admit i haven't done pinholes in ages. i saw a cardboard pinhole cam for about 5 bucks the other day. need to go get that baby since i'm too lazy to make my own.

thanks for the reminder susan and for the heads up about filmwasters.com. i think i'll be wasting lots of time here.  ::)

cool! hopefully i'll be able to participate this time. last year was my first wtcd and now hopefully my first wpd! i suspect i'll just be using a pinhole i made unless i get my shummy mod up and working which is doubtful.

  Did someone say PINHOLE?! :D yay!

But, no fancy tools for me, just homemade boxes and holes made with pins....

Nice little place you have here. 

"Hi".

Its where the real photography starts - it allows you to think and see different ways, to be creative and free from what many consider to be a real photograph!

Carl, I was at Leon's house this weekend and he showed me the silver contact prints you'd sent him. I believe some/all were pinholes, sorry if I've got that wrong...but either way they were breathtaking. Anytime you want to send me any...  ;D

OK, I've made a decision. I'm going to practice my pinholes for the next 8 weeks and try and come up with something worthwhile for April 30th. It'll be a struggle putting my mini Graflex RB down for any length of time, but I really need to start using that Zero that I got a while ago.
