Rent

    My roommate (and tenant) likes to pay his rent in various ways. This time it was almost all in one dollar bills.

      The photo would be interesting in the bills were 100s :)

      The out of focus areas make the impression that the $'s go on forever!

      Ha. Well, I can't charge that much for rent (gee, maybe I should, then I wouldn't need a day job). And the stack was pretty big - being all ones for a month's rent.

      Funny little practice they've got there, eh? Seems kinda like a small expression of usury rebbellion.
      In a society which glorifies their power and our passivity, all thought which challenges this passivity is thoughtcrime.

      Great use of focus and b/w.

      Looks nice from the thumbnail, but then when you look closer it's only $1s. Maybe your roomy should get a checking account.

      It's a good photo, and you seem to have a great attitude towards your roomies prankish rebellion.

      at least he didn't pay in pennies ... although that might make a nice photo too!

      Ha. Thanks all. The roomie is too much fun - don't suggest the pennies - he might do that sometime!
