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!

More Bubbles in Streaming Tap Water

I have consistently received such a positive, surprised, and delighted response from my previous tap water photo, that I decided to shoot a few more for kicks. So here you go, tap water fans. Drink up.

Hoboken Studio Tour/Tiny Lab: Edible, Not Edible

The image above is a microphoto of a Twizzler candy which I shot for some kids at my show. I didn't know these were full of bubbles!

Below is the edge of a Tootsie Roll wrapper, made of aluminum foil and a plastic coating. In blue at the bottom are silica gel pellets, also shot for a kid visiting show. DO NOT EAT!

Hoboken Studio Tour/Tiny Lab: Watch Closely

The watch hands above were on the watch of a visitor to my Tiny Lab exhibit in the Hoboken Studio Tour. I like the dreamy quality of the light and the way the scratches and dust create haloed sparkles throughout the image.

The two photos below are other parts of the watch which have obviously been much loved. The texture of scuffs is great, and I love the little flecks of gold peeking through the layer of silver.

Hoboken Studio Tour/Tiny Lab: Diamonds, Tough as Nails

The diamond above was on the ring of a visitor to my Tiny Lab exhibit in the Hoboken Studio Tour. It is an antique and supposedly some kind of special cut. Being that I'm not a gemologist (if that's a word) I have no way of knowing just how special the cut is.

I do, however, find the diamond very beautiful, and am fascinated by the facets and patterns created by them. Amazing.

Below is a square nailhead in the floor. It's been ground down by floor refinishing. Lucky for us, that makes an interesting pattern of scuffs that refract and scatter light into little prismatic rainbows.

Press: A Gigantic Cough Drop – Part Deux - Andrew Mikhael Blog

"...Adam from tiny lab sent me two photos of my dusty old cough drop, that, after staying year in my coat pocket, managed to disappear before I could take a regular photo of it for comparison. But you’ve seen cough drops before, you know what they look like."

Hoboken Studio Tour/Tiny Lab: Tiny Jewels

Another visitor to my Tiny Lab exhibit for the Hoboken Studio Tour asked me to shoot her earring {I think this was an earring}. The gems were very small, and the blue was enamel, I think.

The photo above was shot in beautiful, soft, white ambient daylight by a huge studio window. The photo below shot with a flash. You can see the difference in depth of field between a small aperture {below} and a large aperture {above} setting on my camera.

Hoboken Studio Tour/Tiny Lab: Does Anybody Have a Lozenge?

A visitor to my Tiny Lab exhibit for the Hoboken Studio Tour asked me to shoot his cough drop. Apparently it's been in his pocket for a while, Andrew Mikhael confessed on his blog.

The photo above is the surface of the lozenge, and the photo below is a piece of the torn wrapper that had bonded with a part of the cough drop, and been peeled away. You can see how the plastic had stretched and snapped as the wrapper was torn off.

Thanks to everyone who came out and visited my exhibit. And thank you to friends and family for your constant support and encouragement.
