Pencils and moleskins happy together in black and white.

Pencils and moleskines

Their points are so new and fresh, they are like eager puppies, dying to prove what they can do.

I like everything about this photo: the colours, the texture of the paper, the hand-writing. It’s black-and-white, but it’s heart-warming.

When I was a kid, I adored pencils like these, but I never did learn to use them. To be frank, I have no idea what they’re for.

They’re pretty, though. I’m a shallow stationery-lover, and I’m happy to take form over function most of the time.

Taking great pictures like this one should be easy, but it isn’t. I couldn’t do it. I’d love to go and photograph my vast collection of pens, pads, pencils, cases and folders, and make them look this tasteful and romantic…

These pretty toys belong to an artist, and therefore I can’t say much about them. (Can’t pain or draw or anything, see.) All I can tell is that I like how they’re all sitting together, waiting to be told what to do.

However, the author of this photo has commented it very helpfully on Flickr, so if you’re curious what’s what, you can follow the link through the photo, and find out first hand.

(Don’t forget to come back to me, though, and tell me what you think.)
