Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Double Stuffed!

Well, as promised, Weekly Reader is back with 2 weeks worth of links to share. Twice the fun? You betcha!

Analog is Better:
Has anyone else noticed a resurgence in non-digital-based technology? Personally, I’ve always worried that I was born in the wrong decade: I love antique things, and especially film, too much to totally get along with the digital age. I should be posting more about my foray’s into using my antique camera once the film gets developed. Here are some great finds (all courtesy of Coudal)…

• Pin-Hole Camera that you assemble yourself
• 8mm Films make a come-back in Japan
• Cute TRL Cameras that use 35mm (again in Japan…must be a trend…)
  
• And for a non-film-just-for-fun-link, Letterpress Chocolates for the type-nerd in your life. (via AisleOne)

A Couple How-To’s of Interest:

• Etsy shares how to dry flowers
• Swissmiss posted a link to 400+ Photoshop Actions for download
• Get perfect handwriting by learning how to Write Like an Architect (also via Coudal)

And, of course, the German Connection:

• Steven Heller blogged this past week about Weimar-era Germany and Austria’s Notgeld, and has some beautiful examples like the one I pulled from his page below:
  
  Here’s hoping he puts out a book about these next…(or maybe he already has? who can keep up with them all?)
