I figured since I was on a typewriter kick I would post one more of these photos before I ‘return‘ to my irregularly scheduled programming. Get it… ‘return‘?
I just flew in from Cleveland, and boy, are my ears tired. *cricket chirping*
But seriously folks, is this thing on? *cough*
*tinkly piano music* I think they’re playing me off…
About this image: digital photograph moderately modified
Refrigerator Magnate 
This is going to sound strange.
But looking at this reminds me of gothic for something reason
I can see that, A.W. –
maybe it’s something to do with how it’s lit… 🙂
As much as I love the convenience and simplicity of my computer, I think we as people lost something when PCs replaced this old fashioned “real” machinery.
Lovely pic as usual, Inky.
There might be something to that. It seems people today are only interested in ‘instant’ results, and maybe have lost some appreciation for craftsmanship,etc. Yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, that’s what I think.
Thank you very much, Dishy! 🙂
Agreed!
Sweet…and be sure to tip the wait staff. 😉
Hahaha –
good thing there wasn’t a cover.
🙂
I like your typewriter series
That’s very nice to hear, N.M.! 🙂
I’m not a mechanic but that looks like my car engine.
Hahaha –
I think the engine in my wife’s car consists of a sleepy mouse on a wheel…
🙂
I’m glad you’re not a mechanic, because if your car engine looks like that, you’re in big trouble!
Hahaha – very true.
Actually, we might still be in trouble with a set-up like that! 🙂
It goes 500 words a minute, thank you very much Binky!!!!Though it does have a sticky clutch!!
Ha! Sounds like safe operation requires wearing goggles of some sort…
🙂
This looks very old age industrial!
I’ve always found mechanical looking ‘stuff’ to be somewhat interesting…
🙂
It’s super cool! That little ball of fuzz makes me feel like I should dust more often though… lol. But it does fit with the photo! We’ll just say we left it like that on purpose! 😛
YES. It’s a prop. Really. Honest. A period fuzz ball. 🙂
Machinery and mechanisms always make good subjects.
I think so too, Binky – glad I’m not the only one! 🙂
Well done. One of my favorites.
Thank you, sir! 🙂
I like how it looks so big and heavy duty and archaic.
Almost like it was chiseled out of a rock…
er… something like that! 🙂
When I 1st looked at it I thought it was some kind of old fashioned factory machinery
That’s not too far off, Tony! 🙂
I like the perspective across the ribbon drum. How much did you modify this one?
Red.
Thanks, Red!
Other than the crop and some dodging /burning and curves/leves etc. I didn’t do too much with this one (other than adding a bit of blur and some dust and scratches, I guess)!
🙂
