A while back, I was inspired by the latest Cross paper Catalog. So I decided to photograph the casual items of my every day life. Here you see the Parker Vector Fountain pen on top of the Hand*Book Journal on the pocket Moleskine. This shows the stronger elastic band of the HBJ. You can order Hand*book journals from Dickblick.com
Photographing inanimate object is hard work. Using tripod is essential. Often, a tripod distinguishes a photographer and can give a clear edge. I had the hardest time finding the name of the Parker fountain pen name on the net. Just today, I saw a fellow Flickr’s (mlle bleue) picture with an identical pen like mine. It’s call the Parker Vector. I received this for my birthday 2005 from Poland. It is the best fine line fountain pen I have. The nib is silver color. The ink comes in cartridges. The replacement can be found on line and specialty pen stores only.

Hi Sara, Good to see you here. You can order it on Dickblick.com I know I just like the color of this blue too! The inside cover says ‘Hand*book manufactured & distributed by Global Art Materials, INC. Kansas City, MO.

But on the wrapper it says “Made in India” which to believe? I can’t find a website for them…..

Hi Iva, I do love the paper! I have to try out the Red Square notebook that you suggested.
