Underwood

Old Underwood typewriter in an antique store on Holly St. in Bellingham, Washington.

Inspired by the8rgrl's typewriter photo, although in retrospect, I think she composed hers much better, making great use of the depth-of-field and the perspective/parallax.

    I have always loved typewriters. I even have cufflinks made from typewriter keys like these.
    There is something comfortably tactile about them.

    Great job.

    BTW, I found you via UTATA. Welcome.
