They Don't Make em Like They Used to...

Went to the international print museum this weekend and took some photos.  The place was pretty crazy... even had a print press like Ben Franklin used back in the day...  Its interesting to me that the history of type is basically the history of how knowledge has spread... 

I wonder if books will be a luxury again...  It seems like with digital technology books could become rare; just not for the same reasons... Its so amazing seeing these machines working after a hundred years.  I mean we don't have printers that last more than a few years today...  It just shows that we don't make things like we used to... nothing is built to last

Its crazy that old school printing is coming back as an art form... I wish I could get into it... it reminds me of intaglio... I miss working metal plates...  Not enough time to do all the things I love.
