Review: State quarters - West Virginia



Ho-hum.

I'm sure the New River Gorge Bridge is an awesome sight to see in person, but on the back of a quarter? Not so much, West Virginia.


Overall rating - 2 - Mediocre

Back out west for Nevada.

    Exactly!
    My customers seem to have trouble understanding where I'm going when I ask for the destination and size of a picture I'm about to make.
    I have some prints that look great at 3x4 feet which would look like two stripes of color on a 4x6", and there are plenty of limitations and considerations in-between.

    State quarters have more in common with Facebook profile photos and postage stamps than anything else.

    As you continue this excellent series it's become clear which states approved a design on a sheet of standard paper versus an ACTUAL SIZE mock-up.
    There's a whole different reality between a new State Seal for the Governor's podium or a flag, and a miniscule quarter.

    You flatter me.

  3. Flattery?
    Hardly.
    It's fun and different and when you get snarky I laugh.
    Find myself looking forward to the next review.
    Can I write one as a guest blogger, from a photographer's perspective?
