Hoboken Studio Tour/Tiny Lab: Money, Money, Money, Mo-ney

Above, you're being watched by Lincoln' eye, from a $5 bill. You can see the cotton fibers of the paper, and even a little shine off the ink where it's adhered to the fibers. Being a bit of a printing geek, I am intrigued by the amount of detail in the line art on this bill. It was shot on request at my exhibit during the Hoboken Studio Tour.

Below are two gold coins with ridged edges that look cool close up. One coin was from South Africa, and one was from the US, and they live together in the wallet of one of my visitors from the Studio Tour.

In case you missed it, here are some photos from my Tiny Lab exhibit the day of the Studio Tour. And if you are curious, here is a slideshow the photos I ultimately hung for that exhibition.

Thanks again for all your encouragement and support!

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that

More closeups of a nickel. Once again, there are no hard edges in the small world. No lines. Everything is round-edged, round cornered, lumpy, chipped, dented. This looks like a coin unearthed from the ancient Romans, but it's just one of our US coins, only 10 or 20 years of wear has beaten it to this condition.

Money is for Nuthin' and the Chicks for Free

I will pay you to "follow" my blog. OK, not really, but here's some money in macro.

These are two macro photos of a nickel, looking HUGE! I like how the details in the rim of the coin above makes it appear to be carved from rock. And the shot below looks like mercury, teased into a form to mimic trees.
