Pencils and Moleskines 04

    Newer Older

    Another view of one of my favorite pencils from Japan. This one's made by the Mitsubishi Pencil Co. and it's part of a set they launched a few years ago. The novelty here is that, besides being a great pencil, the barrels are made exclusively from wood from the oak kegs used by the Suntory distillery. That silver ring halfway up the shaft is engraved "Pure Malt". I'm showing it here on a Moleskine plain cahier and my Moleskine ruled notebook.

      Hi Paul :)
      Great shot and thanks for the commons.

      I've put it at maynaseric.com/the-choice-of-success-rap-method/ and attributed at the end of the post.

      Btw, can I use this photo to be published too?
      I'll let you know if it does.

      Much appreciated.

      Hi Eric. Thanks for your comment. I like how you used my photo. As for publishing, I usually prefer not to allow it if the published work is to be sold for profit, but I handle each request individually. If you're seriously planning to publish, send me FlickrMail and we can discuss details.

      Fantastic! I was looking for CC photos for a writing website... happened to see this nice one and stopped to look because I love moleskin AND a good writing implement... oddly, I also happen to live in Japan. Someone got the Brand and Make of the pens and pencils???

      Paul Worthington's photo has inspired me to create another gallery. Only those photos that stir my academic side will be posted here; excellence in academic subjects will be a challenge.

      Hopefully, you will approve of my selection. Thank you, Robert

      Thank you for this great picture (and thank you for licensing this CC). I used it in a presentation (non commercial) about knowledge management tools used in software development to students of the Fachhochschule Wien. It was the perfect motivation picture for the topic "Taking Notes". Thanks again.

      Peter, that's awesome. I happen to be working on a project about knowledge management in IT operations right now. Thanks for sharing your presentation slides.
