ah analogue..
I'm very nostalgic and appreciative of the time and care involved with using original equipment..typewriters, cameras, print presses, phones and the sound of vinyl records.
I remember having a blackandwhite tv as a kid, I used to have to actually 'leave my seat' to turn the channel over using a big knob on the tv and fight with the aerial for good reception..good memories

Me too. I still love to send handmade cards through the mail, and print things on a handpress (I wish I had one!). . .
Having said that, I don't often use my analog cameras. Sad, isn't it.

handmade cards is a lovely craft though..I wish I could do that.
instead I give my analogue cameras a good workout!

When I was younger I used sneak into the room of the old man who lived with us and play with his type writer. It was around the time when I was discovering that reading was much more than homework. I loved that I had to work to make the words show up and I don't think I ever wrote more than "My name is..." considering I was 7 or 8, but every page seemed much more important. I really like this photo, it's very much like how I feel when I can't write.

I loved your comment and your story. I know that feeling too and it is not so different from how I feel about other creative activities. Sometimes ... it comes so easily and sometimes it odd and disfunctional.

This has mystery to it, and I love it. I sat at a typewriter like that and searched for words, yeah.
I must send this to my wordsmith friend...

Susan, I'm currently at my daughter's in Los Gatos but will be finding a place to live in the Los Angeles area (I know...it's not ideal in so many ways!).
Have a wonderful new year and let's decide to have a great... magical even, 2009!
