In Architecture school I spent alot of time with one of these KOH-I-NOOR 5611 leadholders in my hand. Usually loaded with a 2H or 3H lead. Its all metal construction felt heavy in the hand and very very solid. I havn’t used one in years and I think I kind of miss it. You can check out a great collection of leadholders over at leadholders.com, a museum for leadholders.
The Natural History Museum in London has an exhibit that features Antarctic qualities such as 24 hour darkness and frigid cold temperatures. Ice Station Antarctica challenges kids to see if they are up to the challenges faced in the extreme Antarctic environment. The bearded kids are from posters advertising the exhibition, shot by Paul Thompson, whose work is really quite stunning. Why do the kids have beards? Don’t all arctic and antarctic explorers have beards?
