Underwood
[ click to enlarge ]
The typewriter is an Underwood... I can't find a manufacturing date or model number, but it's likely from the teens or the twenties, maybe the 30's at the very youngest. It still works, too, it just needs a ribbon. I believe it belonged to my great grandfather, and my mom asked me to sell it years ago, but I've kept it through three moves. This is actually the first time I've photographed it.
The photo itself is actually multiple exposures blended in photoshop. Since I only had one flash and wanted light to come from multiple angles, I locked the camera to a tripod and moved the flash in between shots.
Also, I promise I will update more.
