Fun Observances
World Pinhole Photography Day
The last Sunday in April is celebrated worldwide as World Pinhole Photography Day.
The day aims to encourage people to pick up pinhole photography as a hobby and profession, and to share their techniques and pictures with the pinhole photography community.
Small Hole
Unlike its more technologically advanced counterparts, a pinhole camera has no lens and usually captures images using light that passes through a small hole or aperture. The light passes through the hole and projects an inverted image on a piece of film or paper.
Make Your Own
Popularly used to take photographs of the Sun and to safely observe solar eclipses, pinhole cameras are easy to make at home and require minimal equipment.
How to Celebrate?
- Learn more about pinhole cameras and photography.
- Make a simple pinhole camera at home and try to take pictures with it.
- Share the pictures with the pinhole photography community.

During his fourth week of basic training, my grandson was able to make a brief phone call to me. He said he was attending church on base every week, which I was pleased to hear.
"Everyone goes to church here," he added. "It's the only place we don't get yelled at."

How come married women are heavier than single women?
A single woman goes home, sees what's in the fridge, and goes to bed. A married woman sees what's in bed and goes to the fridge.

When my ex-Marine father-in-law was at my house, our six-year-old neighbor came by to play with my kids.
I asked her if she knew who he was. She looked up at him with her big blue eyes and said, "I don't remember what his name is, but I know he used to be a submarine."
