HF40137066C (Abe Lincoln, U.S. Federal Reserve Series 2006), 2009


this image is from a new series i've been working on for the last few months tentatively titled, The Currency $eries. we use money everyday but very rarely make visual or mental note of the monetary notes we carry & exchange constantly. i have been using these two dimensional objects as my negative, using the color enlarger to document & emphasize the watermarks & the strange details we overlook on a daily basis. the images i create are a permanent reference to the actual bill that, after use, i put back into circulation. i think i used this $5 dollar bill to buy dinner later that day.


i'll try to get more images up on my rebsite in the near future.
