Though I've done my share of journalistic photography--mostly out of necessity; I was not a staff photographer--I'm really just an amateur doing the best imitation of a pro photog that I can. Strikethru, be careful; you don't want to be like me! The heroin analogy was not altogether hyperbole. A typical typewriter conversation between the spousal unit and myself goes something like this: "Another typewriter?! Don't you already have two or three like that one?" "Yes. But not in this color."

Really first rate. I imagine you have a professional photography background but if not here's saluting a very successful snapper. Some of your landscapes, portraits and pictures of typewriter innards are just stunning. Olivander, your photographs are superb. Really first rate.

Originally, my Norma was going to be Betty (a la Grable) but she informed me otherwise. I certainly don’t have a monopoly on the name, feel free to use it if it’s right.

I'm pretty sure there's room in the world for two Normas, though. The fact that she's a little bit twitchy inside makes the moniker even more appropriate, I think. Thanks for the link. I shall peruse that. Yeah, I remembered your own Norma Jean about 10 minutes after I posted. I’m pretty sure there’s room in the world for two Normas, though.

God that's a pretty typewriter. My Mamie is a '48 Silent with that same body style and a DREAM to type with. You are the luckiest man alive! Norma Jean is perfect. I mean it.
