EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Antonio Bronic, we are transported back in time to a fountain pen repair shop in Zagreb, Croatia. The focal point of the image is an incredibly rare and unique mechanical pencil from the year 1906. Resting on a pristine white background, the pencil's metal exterior glistens under the soft daylight that filters through the air. The creative use of reflection adds an intriguing element to the composition, as we catch a glimpse of its surroundings mirrored on its surface. With no people present, our attention is solely drawn to this antique object lying gracefully before us. This photograph beautifully captures both history and craftsmanship. The aged pencil tells stories of countless words written and ideas brought to life over a century ago. Its presence oddly juxtaposed against modernity serves as a reminder of how far technology has come while still appreciating these timeless relics. With ample copy space surrounding it, this image invites viewers to reflect upon their own connection with writing instruments and perhaps even sparks nostalgia for simpler times when handwritten communication was cherished. Antonio Bronic's skillful eye has immortalized this piece of history within his lens, allowing us all to marvel at its beauty and contemplate our place within an ever-evolving world.
