a whiff of the sixties by lamy & montblanc

OK. I should have waited with publishing any of these until I’d written a proper text to accompany them. But since I can’t control my OCD to post things immediately I post a couple of photos of my little newly assembled trio from the sixties: 2*Montblanc no 22 (OB & OM nibs) and 1 Lamy 22 (OM) nib. This sleek, refined design has really sneaked into my heart and the semi-hooded nibs on these MBs are a little minimalistic piece of art. Beware – more is to come.

dandy in the evening sun

A little tribute to my Conway Stewart Dandy. This pattern (official name “Bronze” but I think of it as  fudge or almond brittle coloured) is just magnificent in broad sun light – and especially this warm evening sun.

This is by the window in my study – in the evening sun that now has found its way here. The nib on the dandy is a medium italic.

I find italics and stubs photogénique – much more so than fine and extra fines. These were (as most of my photos – I am too lazy and unskilled to photoshop more seriously) SOOC .  As usual: click on pics to view in bigger size.
