My writing station

I apologize for the lighting in these pictures. Too late for any natural light from the windows...




The controls of the radio. There are a few small spaces to the side of this, where I keep letters and my notebooks of story ideas. I could not get a picture of the speaker on the underside, but I will say that it is a bit damaged. This radio does not work in the least, but really I do not listen to the radio anyway.








And no, that clock does not display the proper time. I found a dozen of these in the dumpster of a store we had nearly completed building, and snagged one. It ran for a few hours, but died. Hey, it's...1:44 somewhere!

Today I had an Appointment with the Inferno

Here is a link to Richard's novel, Appointment with the Inferno

A nearly famous typewriter

This is one of the drafts. One of the papers in the case has the poem in its entirety, I believe, but it is in storage in the closet of the typewriter room at the moment.




I am going to have to cover up that sticker on the side that says 107DB. Otherwise, I will be forced to wear earplugs, as the threshold is 85DB. Ugh...

Disgruntled purveyors of typewriters

The whole ball of wax

Felt weird taking pictures of a camera...


Included accessories. From left to right: Well, I am not sure what this first thingy is...then, 100mm lens, 35mm lens, power viewfinder(?), and two Argus C2's, which I think are some sort of prismatic lens. The lens on the camera is a 50mm.


'The whole ball of wax', as the seller colloquially put it.




These people do not believe in price tags...except for things that are black, I suppose, and that is just because their sharpie will not show up. I cannot tell you how many prices we have had to scrub off of pottery from this place.

The modern business machine

The Studio 44 briefly resides in the Imperial Good Companion's spot of honor.

Practical use of a typewriter

Generation spanning set-up.

My productive Saturday in

I have been trying to post this since last night, but the image hosting site I use was down until...right now, apparently.




Now I just have to fix it...


I love those typebars. Sorry for picture quality going down. By the time I got in from my parents, it was dark out. I think I am going to retake this last picture in natural sunlight at some point, just because I think it would look awesome.
