There's something special about the photographic community in the northwest United States, and on April 26, 2015, World Wide Pinhole Photography Day, a bunch of people from across the globe came together in Portland to share stories, ideas, inspiration, and make some interesting photos.
Boring Biographical Stuff
I got interested in photography in 2007, and connected with some amazing people in the
Seattle Flickr group, generous with feedback, encouragement, equipment, but most importantly, generous with their passion for making pictures and sharing the magic so many of us find in capturing a moment in time.
Since then, I've continued to experiment -- digital and analog; pinhole; film, instant, large-format, medium-format, 35mm, and
smaller(!) -- but only because I met someone who was making amazing images in interesting ways, and who was willing to share their knowledge.
I didn't know any photographers in Portland when I moved down, but within months had connected with a community of passionate shooters, many of whom were already friends with my Seattle friends.
WWPPD 2015
They organized a WWPPD event here in Portland, that drew in all their fellow Podcasters, as well as fans and enthusiasts. In addition to shooters from all around the region the crowd included photographers from the U.K., France, Boston, Nashville, and more.
The worldwide event organizers have a gallery where they will collect shots from this year's event, and our WWPPD GitTogether group (apparently "git" is a UK term that means "well-groomed, classy person"). Photos will be trickling in up to May 31.
It was great to meet so many passionate photographers, and walk around my new hometown and take some pictures.

While heating the plastic and printing small figures, the machines utilizing PLA filament emitted 20 billion ultrafine particles per minute, and the ABS emitted up to as} 200 billion high precision machining particles per minute. These particles can settle within the lungs or the bloodstream and pose health danger, especially for those with bronchial asthma. The hardware phase led the market and accounted for greater than 60.0% share of the worldwide revenue in 2021. The hardware phase has benefitted considerably from the rising necessity of speedy prototyping and advanced manufacturing practices. Prototyping permits manufacturers to achieve larger accuracy and develop dependable finish merchandise.
