A collage of four brief typings of Noah's, undated but from the 2010 time frame. The first three are using his boxy Hermes 3000, while the last was my Underwood Universal. ~Grandpa Joe.

Lost Typings Found, Part 1

Note: This is a compilation of recently discovered lost typings of Noah's, from the 2010 time frame, written in and near Flagstaff, Arizona during a vacation. Typed using my Royal Mercury, "Beach Typer". We were returning from vacation in southern California. Click on image to enlarge. ~Grandpa Joe.

The Morning Journey

Today Was a Long Day

I failed to show The Line Writer how to use the macro closeup attachment lens on the Fuji Instax Wide 210 camera, but I really like the soft-focus effect he's achieved.

I also like his typo of "Loyal" for the Royal Mercury typewriter; we've had this machine out to the beach at Oceanside, California, the last few years during vacation, and it has indeed been loyal.

Another detail I observed was that he wrote out his rough draft longhand, in pencil, prior to typing it up. As if he's been paying some attention to you know who. And he did all this while I was at work. A great treat to find when I came home.

The White Shed

The Line Writer has been busy with school work for months, thus hasn't posted anything recently. But last night we gathered in the newly remodeled White Shed, a combination Man Cave and Club House (for men of all ages - but women are welcome, too) and, with classical music on the radio, he sat and sketched this illustration of the shed's interior, while I wrote my blog article, and Nana read.

Aluminum Foil Typewriter

The Line Writer has been making collage art from found objects since early childhood. This is his latest creation, the chassis of which is built around a metal crayon box, the rest built up from aluminum foil, which his Grandma was more than happy to donate from the kitchen drawer supply. While it doesn't actually type, you'll be happy to know that the platen is removable, and it sports details like a black ribbon and type bars.
