Another Phoenix Warehouse District spot that opened its doors during Art Detour was the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center.
One room had about half a dozen old typewriters in the corner, presumably left from the building’s days as a high school.
I do love looking at metal typewriters – the shape of the keys, the font of the letters and punctuation.
If I see one, I nearly always have to take a photo for some reason. (I have a similar complulsion with old sewing machines.)
Maybe there’s something about them I feel I need to preserve.
Is there anything you can’t pass without photographing?
I love old typewriters, and I love that you want to photograph them, and old sewing machines. I learned to type on an old typewriter – I was self-taught – and so have an affection for them too.
I don’t really have anything I feel I have to photograph. But when I’m in Europe, it is hard to pass by an especially photogenic door.
I know what you mean! My current phone wallpaper is this really great door I spotted in Venice.
