The fifteenth Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is Sunday the 26th. This event invites people from all around the world to make their own pinhole camera, take photos, and post them to the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day website. Be a part of the collective experience by joining us at Rising Star Coffee in Little Italy at 2187 Murray Hill Road on the corner of Murray Hill Road and Edgehill this Sunday the 26th to celebrate Worldwide Pinhole Camera day. Romanian artist Alexandru Patatics will be here to conduct a workshop explaining how the camera works and to take participants on a field trip to photograph the Little Italy neighborhood. After, participants will develop their own photos in our dark room at Rising Star Coffee. These photos will then be added to the collection online and mounted on the walls of Rising Star Coffee. Participants will be invited to pick their photo masterpieces up after Monday the 27th.
The workshop will begin at 11am and continue until 5:00pm. There is a $10 suggested donation to cover all supplies. All materials will be provided so just bring yourself and your curiosity. All ages are welcome. Reservations are encouraged but feel free to join us at anytime. Make a reservation by email at littleitaly@risingstarcoffee.com
