I have it loaded with Noodler's V-Mail Midway Blue at the moment. That has been a very reliable ink. My wife and I are both partial to a special run called DC Supershow Blue.

I did daily typewriter journals during family vacation time but never got around to maintaining the blog :-( I have a few machines and typefaces that need to get out in the wild.

Thanks for the comment on the photos. The derby shots were taken during a G+ Blur and Unsharp Mentorhship program. It started with pans to get intentional blur and then I put some images through the Stackables app for iPad. It was fun experimentation.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-34144412844852424392014-11-13T20:42:53.019-06:002014-11-13T20:42:53.019-06:00I generally go for stealth with a small camera.

I'm of the school that treats the streets like a like a wild place in which the photographer should not change the behavior of the subject.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-74355557533898518772014-11-13T20:40:24.459-06:002014-11-13T20:40:24.459-06:00I used the Parker at work today.
