'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

-Squadron Leader K. G. Holland, RAF. WWII China.

Wimping out and using Lamy's own image since the pen is brand new (yesterday), but throwing in a writing sample to partially compensate. I used to do calligraphy, so using one of these nibs is not new, but what is new is figuring out that i can write differently than with a Speedball dip calligraphy nib. With the way I write, I also have to watch out for my writing getting too spiky. It's an adjustment, but I like the pen a lot.

I love the color of the Dolce Vita. I have a Delta 365 with the gold trim and the same color barrel. It's just too big for me, but I love the color. Nice pen!

My first post here, I hope my nonexistent photography skills do not make my handwriting too hard to read.

There is some shading to this ink, not too shabby for $4!

Tomoe River and two "Life" notebooks to play with. The "Life" are inexpensive, fp friendly and made in Japan. Always looking to check out new papers.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

I really need to work on my handwriting :(

I'll keep on struggling, 'cause that's the measure of a man.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY
