127 Day

127 Day comes three times a year.

• January 27 (1/27, in American-style notation)
• July 12 (12/7, in European-style notation)
• December 7 (12/7, in American-style notation)

It's a day to celebrate 127 format by making pictures with the quirky old cameras that use it.

The next 127 Day is the 12th of July 27, 2024. 

127 Film Photography celebrates with an online exhibition of photographs made on that day. You're invited to participate by sending one photograph that you make on on the 12th of July 27, 2024 on 127-format analogue media. 127 Film Photography will publish all photographs. The exception is that images of nudity, violence, or exploitation will not be published on this site.

Please email ONE JPG FILE, 500 PIXELS WIDE of a photograph you took on the 12th of July, 2024, to 127filmformat ~at~ gmail.com, by September 12, 2024.

In the subject line of your email, type "July 2024 127 Day."

In the body of the email, please include 

• the copyright symbol and year, 
• your name, 
• the title of the photograph, 
• location, 
• camera, 
• film type, and 
• your website address (or other link to your work). 

In that order. PLEASE FOLLOW THE FORMAT OF THIS EXAMPLE EXACTLY (elements, punctuation, etc. - with the exception that if you prefer to be known by your full name, you don't have to use initials!). Please do not include hard-returns within the information.

You don't have to have your work online to participate - but if you do, please include a link so that viewers who love your work here can see more of it.

All types of 127 film format are welcome,* whether the film began its life as 127, or you used 35 mm or Instax film in a 127 camera, or you respooled 46mm film, or you cut down 120 film to 127 size ... or maybe you have another technique - if so, please consider writing a short article for 127 Film Photography about it! Photos made on 127 film in a different size camera are welcome too.

The target date for publication of the online exhibition is September 21, 2024.

I look forward to seeing your 127 Day pictures!
