Enter the Time Machine

I've been using a fountain pen for quite a while and slowly I've built up a small collection. I use it every day both in the office and in real life.

My latest, a vintage Parker circa 1932, is a thing of beauty and is a lovely writer but it's led me into the more eccentric areas of the interweb, where men 'road test' pens against each other, hand write reviews of ink and make videos of 'nib tuning'.

So between shooting film on manual cameras, hand printing photographs in a darkroom and collecting pens I feel as if I'm moving back to a saner place.

...and you can get some very fine Japanese ink..
