Photo calendar.

[alexvaras]

I have the silly idea of doing a calendar for 2026 and one of the things I would like to include is those days "for using this or that type of camera"
Example: 1st May is Commie Camera day or 12th July is 127 film camera day...

I think you had something like this in Nelson Photo... anyone keeps a record of it?

Thanks!
Alex

You could invent some new dates, while you are at it. How about June 6 and April 4 for square format, January 20 for 120 film, May 13 for 35mm, May 4 or December 9 for LF…

June 20 is 620 film day. 6/20

Pablo has to do both since he is metric and lives there
