A Homo Sapien Experience

Why not?

 

Because maybe Nickolasyeo will like it so much, he'll want to buy one?!? Then again, there's also the chance that the person may be disappointed by the pen (as I was) or find it really doesn't suit his/her tastes, thereby one is freed from the any desire to own one.

 

Hey eric47, why were you disappointed with the pen? I've never handled one, but I looked it up and this pen looks really beautiful and tempting!

 

Have to admit, at first look it wasn't really a "me" pen either; but of course I've had to christen it and, well, now I'm happy that my daughter has to wait a few years before she gets it !lticaptd.gif

A very touching experience! :happyberet:

Have never been to Florence but I do own a Homo Sapiens, which is a dream to use.

If I ever go there I will be sure to drop by that shop, just to enjoy the atmosphere and talk to the kind gentleman.

 

Congratulations on your daughter, she surely has a fine taste and an eye for beauty!

And, of course, congratulations on your new HS; enjoy it for the following two years, until your daughter takes it as her own (if she didn't do that already!) :ltcapd:

It's been almost two years since this was posted. Is she 9 yet? Has she taken possession of the pen?

Yes, as promised on her 9th birthday my daughter evolved into a Homo Sapiens owner.embarrassed_smile.gif

When I read this thread some time ago, I told about it to the one you called "Mr. Visconti" and he told me (again) about the whole story, smiling like a baby all the while. He's a very nice, old fashioned and thrust inspiring person, I reckon.

If you allow me, I'll bring him the homo sapiens' girl greetings :)

Of course! She would love to know that you passed on her very best!happyberet.gif

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
