Our Two Sense
Letter of '62
Posted by Two Sense (Atlantic Shores, United States) on 9 April 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.
Lilly : I started to type a letter to you in ’62 but there was a power outage.
Ronnie : I knew there was a good reason I bought the manual.

“One of our very first ‘blends’ and the image that got us thinking about just how far it could go. The road is long.”

very cool!! it's almost like a checkerboard of typerwriters. well taken and combined. the lighting even matches. your comments about this one are funny, L's especially. Is L actually reading Science Year 1979?

@danthro: (from Lilly) It was either that or 1978.... not sure which is better. Ha ha. And no, not really reading it, I just thought the book matched Ronnie's Desk so nicely.

Do you guys talk about what you're going to do ahead of time, or are you really that lucky? Beautiful merge, as usual!

@Tracey: (from Lilly) Yes, we talk about it before-hand....but Ronnie does all the sewing. :)
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Very well done (as usual!). I am sure that if you ask some of the younger generation they wouldn't even know what a typewriter is!!

ok - how on earth did you BOTH find an OLD typewriter? I learned on a typewriter like the one on the right. I think my mom purchased it from an auction from a school for 2 bucks, I was in 10th grade at the time.

@Rabbit: (from Lilly) After our posting of the mail boxes, we were inspired to post typewriters... and yes, we both found one buried in our respective homes. I actually had two!

This is my favorite shot. I learned on a typewriter like the ones L & R use and there's something very satisfying about striking the keys and watching the hammers fly into the paper. And then when you're done, you pull the page straight from the roller and it makes this zipping noise. I'm glad L & R kept them! =D

How did you get them to be the same size so that you could make it look like one? Marvelous work Ronnie.

You're so creative as always, and I have no idea where that creativity comes from. though, I like how you take them and make dialogues. :)

I don't know how you did this, but it is awesome.

Even the one on the right looks like a new fangled modern contraption compared to the one I learned to type on --something I think my father got from his father and built circa 1910 or so.
