After a weekend of cleaning and re-inking many of my pens, I got the itch to do some creative photography with my pens.
A study in fountain pen nibs (iPhone and loupe).
Partly as a result of doing more writing lately, leading to a weekend of cleaning and re-inking many of my pens, and partly a result of importing old photography posts, I got the itch to do some creative photography with my pens. It helps that the Kaweco metal pens are minor works of art in their own regard. It felt good to take up the camera again.
My homemade Field Notes cover with my everyday pen (iPhone).A pair of Kaweco Brass Sport fountain pens, one with an extra fine nib and the other with a bold nib (X-Pro2 with XF23).A collection of writing utensils. From left to right: a Rotring 800+ mechanical pencil, a Muji aluminum fountain pen with fine nib, a Kaweco Steel Sport (extra-fine, with Kaweco Royal Blue ink), and a trio of Kaweco Brass Sport pens in extra-fine, medium, and bold; these last three are all inked with Kaweco Pearly Black ink (X-Pro2 with XF23).The Faber Castell NEO, extra-fine nib, inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Take-sumi black ink, on top of the notebook I use to demonstrate and test pen and ink combinations (X-Pro2 with XF23).A study in nibs: clockwise, the extra-fine nib on a Kaweco Brass sport, the extra-fine nib on the Faber-Castell NEO, the medium nib on a Kaweco Brass sport, and the fine nib on the Muji aluminum (iPhone and loupe).
