Elegant images of elegant objects. I've been noticing people around me using fountain pens, including two physicians who scribble prescriptions with their fountain pens.

Just another anachronism, refusing to go away in the face of technologically and economically superior disposable bics and biros. -rei On Jan24 10:25, firkin wrote: > I had not envisaged Kyle as a pen pusher ;-) Lovely collection, lets > hope > it doesn't lead me to another expensive LUG induced splurge ;-) > > Ric Carter writes: > > >Very nice selection of contrasts and complements. > > > >Ric Carter > >http://gallery.leica-users.org/Passing-Fancies > > > > > >On Jan 23, 2006, at 11:30 AM, kyle cassidy wrote: > > > >>okay okay, just kidding, but i wanted to share some photos of > >>recent > >>acquisitions at the philadelphia fountian pen show: > >> > >>http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/lj/2006/pen3.jpg > >> > >>http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/lj/2006/pen7.jpg > >> > >>http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/lj/2006/pen1.jpg > >> > >>http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/lj/2006/pen9.jpg > >> > >>http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/lj/2006/pen2.jpg > >> > >>http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/lj/2006/pen14.jpg > >> > >>now back to your regularly scheduled discussions of rain and > >>negatives. > >>that is all. > >> > >>keep pushing that shutter button, it'll come unstuck, > >> > >>kc > >> > >>_______________________________________________ > >>Leica Users Group. > >>See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > > > > > >_______________________________________________ > >Leica Users Group. > >See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > > > > Alastair Firkin > www.afirkin.com > www.familyofman2.com > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information -- Rei Shinozuka shino@panix.com Ridgewood, New Jersey _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
