I think I need a new camera

The picture is pretty terrible, but I'm really excited about my first attempt at letterpress. I printed the save the dates for our wedding on the Kluge, and besides a minor infraction with the platen, everything turned out ok. Invitations coming soon!

i love love love the work of charles and ray eames. not only did they produce a huge body of beautiful, functional work, their philosophy of design and attention to the the time and context in which they were living has always amazed me. watch for these stamps later this year!
