I’m going to India in a few weeks and wanted a new camera to accompany me on the trip. My coworker recommended the Lumix, mostly for the reason that we both suffer from severe Leica lust but are too poor to indulge. This is the next best thing. Panasonic camera, Leica lens. Gorgeous photos. I can’t wait.

Elum is constantly showing up in wedding magazines with pieces from their portfolio showcased as examples of letterpressed design. It doesn’t really get much lovely than this. The papers are very high quality and the printing is exquisite.

The folks at Absorbent Printing print using letterpress on coasters of varying thickness. After seeing it done as part of a wedding in Martha Stewart, I kind of wondered how exactly one would go about doing it. Little did I know that companies specialize in it. Absorbent Printing accepts custom designs, too. I feel a little project coming on.
Look at those prices!
