    CBS Sunday News Macro Coin Photography Large Format

    Just saw a short TV study about Photographs by Seth Dickerman

    He makes very large prints of coins.

    https://www.sethdickerman.com/home/currency

    Great idea, execution and a process that is both LF prints and scans for bigger prints.

    I think this should be not be just in the lounge.

    But where...

    Different bills and coins, always the same image. How boring.

    A parody of inflation?

    Let's see, if I turn the Epson flat bed up to 1600 and scan a Mercury head dime and print it really really big . . . is it art?

    If you say it's art, then sure. Whether it's good art is the more interesting question.

    When I was teaching photography at the University, I would not credit my students with a grade if they handed in prints of statues, graffiti, paintings, etc. I would tell them that the art was created by someone else who should be the ones to get credit for their creations. As for this photographer, I choose to think of him more as an entrepreneur and a business person dealing with reproductions of someone else's artistic work. Dealer, not an artist... Simple as that.

    I think that this adds value . . .

    It explores the art on currency in a way that we might not otherwise be aware. Personally, I've always taken the art on currency for granted. Not anymore.

    I'm also interested in the technical details, which I will review.

    Anyway, it appears that Oren was moved by the images.
