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!

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.

The Fabric of our Lives™


Had a request/suggestion for a macro/micro photo (yay!, thanks Peta). This is a cotton ball, all made up of gnarly little strands. You can see that while the cotton strands above appear white, they are actually clear like cellophane noodles.

Below is another shot of the cotton, showing the clear strands a little better. And below that, a crop of the center section of this photo, which clearly shows (no pun intended) that the strands are not white. Rather, these twisty fibers reflect light on many curving and bending facets, making them appear white to the naked eye.
