Famous Writers and their Typewriters
I love how they treat those massive heavy typewriters as if they were thin light-weight laptops. Pretty cool too to see how they obviously pose for the photograph. It’s a bit like “Portraits of the artist as an artist”, if you know what I mean.

Lorem ipsum - Cicero's lecture on pain →
