Typewriter photography, pen pencil & paper, and why Flickr is better than Twitter


I think that this Sotto Voce post is very interesting. If you haven't read it yet, do. I'll be checking his comments section for your opinion of the Seth Godin "bandwidth-sync correlation" chart.

The first Carnival of Pen, Pencil & Paper is live. Check it out!

Here is a photo of Dennis and Matt McCormack of Ace Typewriter in Portland, OR. It was taken by Jake Shivery of Blue Moon Camera & Machine.

Elsewhere on Flickr are still more interesting photos related to typewriters. I have said it before and I will say it again-- Flickr is definitely the best social-media website there is. And here's why: related to the Sotto Voce post, it transforms ephemeral information into an organized and (digitally) permanent resource, retaining its value. Compared to this, Twitter is like a Letterpress type cabinet knocked over in an earthquake.
