About me: The next World Film Photography Day (WFPD) will be held in March 2009!
This will be an opportunity for photographers to go out on the same day, shoot some film, and within the following four weeks post one of their resulting images in the WFPD area on the film-photography.org website. Although it can be said that every day is a photography day it is intended that this one day will help to achieve four things:
…to celebrate all that film photography has to offer,
…to bring together film enthusiasts on the same day for a single purpose,
…to encourage the use of film for new photographers and digital converts,
…and to keep the film market alive for future generations to enjoy.
It is also anticipated that many photographic manufacturers, retailers, magazines and organizations, as well as other photo forums, will also come on board and participate in and support the day.
The film-photography.org website is a free to use forum which is open all year round and includes general film photography help and discussion areas plus contact facilities for suggesting improvements and new ideas. As well as a growing links section and a new area for film related articles, there are numerous additional features planned for the site during the year.
A big thank you to everyone who has joined so far!
So yes, the big day tomorrow! I'll have my camera while walking home from work, something I wouldn't normally do, so that in itself has got to be a good thing! Hopefully get a few decent shots.
Thanks again everyone! Hope to see some pics either here or on the WFPD site! :-)
