Writing with pen and ink has such great vibes. And to follow below? Photography and Film considerations.

TO GET INSPIRED, SAD, OLD SUMMERS NEEDS A CHOSEN VIBE. NOT ONLY TO CREATE A LITTLE HAVEN OF FAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS REGARDING THE PEN AND PAPER CHOICES. BUT TO BEGIN A TASK REGARDING WHETHER TO CHOOSE FOUNTAIN PEN OR DIP NIB?

IMPORTANT REALLY. IT CREATES AN AMBIENCE THAT ALLOWS THE MIND TO CHOOSE AND SETTLE DOWN TO THE TASK. FOCUS UPON THE DIP NIB’S BRIEF ABILITY TO HOLD ONTO ENOUGH INK FOR MORE THAN WRITING A FEW WORDS. OR LET THE GOOD TIMES ROCK AND ROLL FLOW WITH THE LONGEVITY OF A FOUNTAIN PEN FULL OF INK.

From a couple of Christmas’s ago. But the vibe is still a sabbatical.
THE INFAMOUS SKWIGGLE DRAGON BETWEEN TWO PILLARS OF STRENGTH.
A CHOSEN PEN OR THREE IN THE POCKET (ABOVE) AND A CHOSEN PAD OF PAPER (BELOW) TO PUT INTO THE MUSETTE INFANTRY BAG.

AND TO FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF WRITING THE LYRICS? A BIT OF FILM DEVELOPING. USEFUL FOR SOME QUIRKY VISUAL IMAGERY ON THE CD, ETC.. .

IT WOULD BE GREAT TO CONSIDER BUYING BULK FILM. BUT UNSURE OF WHAT IT MAY COST NOWADAYS. AT 100 FEET OF FILM THERE SHOULD BE A RESULT OF 18 ROLLS OF LOADED FILM CONTAINING 36 EXPOSURES EACH CARTRIDGE.
STANDARD TIMERS FOR DEVELOPING THE FILM.
DARKROOM BAG, DEVELOPING TANKS, SOME USED FILM TAKEN AROUND 20 YEARS AGO, AND USEFUL BITS AND BOBS.
