filthy lucre
Still life in coins, wanted to emphasise the dirtiness, the used patina to the coins, the countless marks from a thousand hands, purses and cash drawers that gives the story to each coin.
Too often we don't stop to conside the internal dialogue that goes on under the surface between the world we live in and the world behind it - the movements of everyday objects, the people who touch them, the stories they can tell.
Any one of these coins might have been once owned by a child who saved them to buy something she loved or might have been the last money in someones pocket to buy food with.
They can tell us stories if we think about them - this is a persons bus fare money, this paid for the paper and so on.
Black and white Ilford 1600 filter then lomofied, Im not 100 sure about the end result which is kind of why its here - for your thoughts, critiques and suggestions.
