Pencils, Lots of Them!

I know this has Nothing to do with video. Well I use a Pencil to write story boarding and scripts. Does that count?  But I will never look at a pencil the same again. Amazing amount of work and machines to make one! Amazing Photography to boot.

I can't find what camera he used, but I know he is a renowned Large Format user. Could be 8x10 for all I know.

Wow most of that machinery looks like it has been there a 100 years or more! Imagine how many pencils have went through them.

Probably everybody my age, and older, has had one of their pencils in their hand. Amazing. I have probably chewed a 100 erasers or more off of them LoL.

I remember when I was a kid there were Vets from WWII that had their legs blown off, and would ride around on a wooden board with skate wheels on it selling pencils. Sad when I look back at it, really sad. God damn wars, you are Never the same even if you look normal. Never.
