Macro-photography is producing photographs of small items life size or larger... some go as far as stating that it must be taken with a dedicated macro lens that has the capability of achieving the least a 1:1 magnification.
Macro / Micro photography usually refer to the same thing. Nikon names their lenses as 'micro lenses' and Canon calls them 'macro lenses'.
Close-up photography is the act of photographing objects such as flowers or insects in close range so the subject you are photographing fills the frame.
About the mechanical pencils: The Pilot H-2105 (sadly discontinued) has been my daily use pencil for over 25 years, shows lots of wear, and was back to the factory for service once about 5 years ago... the silver tip retracts into the body when not in use... The Pilot S10 is the new guy on the block from earlier this year... it has a good feel, but doesn't retract for travel.

I had to look up what epigraph meant ;-)
Ah, the Tet Offensive. I think I remember sharing with you that story of an old buddy of mine back in my programming days (yes, folks, COBOL) who used to be a map reader identifying where "charlie" was from aerial photos. He was there during the Tet Offen...
COBOL... now that's a flash from the past
I remember our discussions of the 60s & 70s ; ) The Battle of Hue was an eye opener for many... Casey
Hahaha...
When I talked to the rep from Pilot he said the "H-2105 Vanishing Point Drafting / Drawing Mechanical Pencil" was too complicated to build and they couldn't justify the mfg process at a competitive price... Google it... I found one NOS for sale listed at ...
