“We started POLAROID WEEK to celebrate instant film. We also started it as a project — to see what new and interesting things we could do with instant film; and to challenge ourselves to produce some really great work.” — ‘Roid Week 2010

May 3 – 7, 2010. Save the date! An instant photo (or two) a day for five days. (That’s instant photo. None of that Poladroid silliness, people.) ‘Roid Week 2010.

Here’s what ‘Roid Week has looked like in previous years: 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006.

Researching cameras using the Flickr Camera Finder can bubble up some interesting stats. Did you know that the Apple iPhone has become the most widely used camera on Flickr? Want to know the ranking of a Nikon? How about finding people who are using a Leica? After reading that the series finale for the TV show House was filmed using the Canon 5D Mk2 camera I had to see what people on Flickr were doing with the camera. Check out their amazing photos and videos.

This coming Sunday is the 10th anniversary of Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. If you’ve never pinholed, you’re missing out and if not having a pinhole camera is what’s stopping you — make your own.

Dippold has instructions and a template that you can download to make your own. When you’re done, share your photos in any number of our pinhole groups: Pinhole, Homemade Pinhole, Pin-olheiros, Pinhole Photography, etc.

Check out the WPPD site for events near you.

Members of the Bristol Flickr group have organized their 3rd “Flickl” exhibition, which is now on until April 21, see all the details on their Upcoming event page.

“There’s something for everyone: from street to studio, mystical trees, quirky angles & striking portraits, urban action night & day, with kites, bikes, trains & tiny details in between. What unites all of these pictures is that the people who took them call Bristol their home.”
