Other photographers can be
so inspiring. Today’s shot was inspired
by my photographer friend Kevin, who is doing the 365 project with me. He posts to the facebook 365 page that we
created. He was expressing his love of
macro photography and whilst talking to him, I thought of capturing this.
In this case a money macro
– the twenty (20) dollar bill of Trinidad and Tobago. The bills of Trinidad and Tobago are
different by color. $1 – red, $5 –
green, $10 – gray, $20 – purple and $100 – blue. The hundred dollar bill is fondly called a ‘blue
note’ by nationals. In choosing a bill, I
noticed that each bill depicted a different bird and on the flip side had some
cultural representation of our twin isle.
I chose the $20 for its depiction of the steel pan. I also did a few macro shots of the bird, and
in the $20 case, it’s one of the hummingbirds, as Trinidad and Tobago is known
as ‘the islands of the hummingbirds’.
