14 editions of Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day in Barcelona

A.W.P.C.P. organises the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day in Barcelona since 2011. Every last Sunday of April, photographers around the world shoot a pinhole camera at the same moment. Barcelona has participated since the first edition.

The website had been running on a WordPress server with fourteen years of accumulated content. In 2024 we migrated it to Hugo + GitHub Pages: no server, no database, all content versioned in Git.

Tech stack

Hugo 0.159 — 229 pages generated in under 5 seconds.
GitHub Pages — global CDN, automatic deploy.
GitHub Actions — build and deploy in ~30 seconds per push.
GoatCounter — lightweight analytics (3 KB), cookieless, with custom dashboard.

The migration

14 editions. 105 pinhole camera photographs from participants. Original posters from 2011 to 2025. All content exported from the original WordPress, rewritten in Markdown with Hugo frontmatter.

Images were recovered directly from the old WP server via curl. Legacy URLs maintain compatibility through 301 redirects.
