Not being a very religious person, my first thought for "In the Beginning..." was the start of something creative. I originally wanted to use Moby Dick, but that was written before the advent of the typewriter.
In any case, I chose Fahrenheit 451, because I like the book and because the first line was short enough to make a good impact.
My futzing in Photoshop:
- Crop and rotate slightly
- Curves
- Shadows/Highlights (to remove a little shadow)
- Sharpening
Special thanks to my good friend Frank, who lent me his parents Royal typewriter. Wish I could have gotten more of it in the shot...

I had a similar idea, but not with that book. I gave up, though, because by typewriter isn't as photogenic. I wish my efforts had turned out more like yours. By the way, that's an excellent book.
