Marking Time ...

While doing a wee little banking this afternoon, I passed a shop where I saw an old Underwood typewriter through the plate glass window. I like to think about all of the different ways mankind has devised to make his or her mark ... chiseling rock, papyrus, quill pens, leaded pencils, ballpoint pens, typesetting machines, typewriters, computers. Really amazing history, and I do like the distinctive striking sound of a typewriter and the ding of the carriage return. But, I digress.

I was taken with the image of the old typewriter THROUGH the plate glass. With the reflections, it was slightly distorted, almost like the image was disintegrating or becoming a negative. I imagined it in a time warp. I know, nut case, right?

Anyway, it is today's image. Oh, I think I'm a day behind. Well, this is it for today. I'll look back to see what I photographed yesterday.
