When It Rains, It Pours


1968 Olympia SM8/9

P.S. - I decided to typecast this one using my phone as scanner and camera. I'll be doing a full photo shoot of a number of machines very soon.

My Day with Typospigeon


We actually rode past Goldfield in order to enjoy the scenery (and curves) further up the Apache Trail.

After a few laps of the best section, we stopped at Tortilla Flat to chat with some of the riders sharing the road.

Blending in with the locals
 After a good chat on the porch, my guest intimated she was ready to move on. I think she was excited to get close to the vintage machinery she'd glimpsed on the way. We said our goodbyes and hit the road.


Upon arrival in Goldfield, I sensed a bit of disdain from Typospigeon. I don't think she expected a tourist trap. Luckily, she perked up when I told her she could actually sit on the old machines.

Sadly, I didn't calibrate my Minolta Hi-Matic correctly for the film I was using. Sorry for the washouts.

Where's Typospigeon?


Tried a little digital fun with this one. It's not always evil :)

Enjoying the view of the mountains
Aside from the film troubles, we had a fantastic ride into the Superstition Mountains. Always a good way to spend a day!

Typospigeon moves on to carry her message of mechanical/analog joy to the next agent of the Insurgency. Type on brother and sisters!

Exciting Find




I was shocked to see the plastic cover when I opened the case
 

Very, very nice

Not sure where "Muffs Typewriter" was

On top of all the knickknacks, the case contained the Operating Instructions:


 and a few fun extras:



I'm tickled to have a SM9 back in the Key Snap collection. This one was quite the find.


By the by - the photography is going very well. I'm trying to figure out where to put digital versions of my work. When I come to a decision I will share.
