I got the idea for this after an afternoon of shooting. It's was quite labor intensive to sort throught the images, create the Positives and Negatives, add the black border to each one, get them printed and then lay them out to be photographed.
I spent a couple hours arranging and re-arranging photos on the floor, take one photo of the arrangement, and then see how it looked as a Negative. Probably the easiest part was lighting to the get the shadows of the coins. I usually have issues with my lighting. Overall: Very Fun.

Actually you will notice 4 images that have both positives(+) and negatives(-). There are a +/- Ben Franklin, a +/- Fish-looking-right, a +/- Fish-looking-straight-on, and a +/- bridge with branches (both on left edge).
Thanks to everyone who thought it was good, although i wasn't the only one to have this idea. I just wish I had pulled it off as well as this one:

"Negatives and Doubles Negatives" is a very nice addition into the Negative Image challenge. I think it is always wonderful to see something different, then the seem shot taken of the same subject. I love out of the box thinkers.
You defiantly had a great arsenal of very different photos to work with. I can image how difficult it might be to try and arrange the different photos, I would bet it was the longest part of the process. The composition is very nice and full. The only real issue I have with the shot is the Ben Franklins (or whoever that might be, but I really hope I wouldn't incorrectly identify such an important figure). I think I would have tried to invert one of them or something, they really do look like the same shot. Also I would say the same thing about the two fish heads facing right. Maybe you really wanted to express their important with the include of both of them, but I prefer the chaos theory. Either way this was a great idea and shot! |

| Good idea but a little bit too cluttered for my taste, would have liked this better with fewer and stronger photos on the wall. 6 from me. |

| Not sure if taking pictures of other pictures is allowed. I hope so, because this entry is unique and stands out to me. I enjoyed looking at it, and the similarity of the subject matter adds to the experience. Good job. |

| So you converted the prints to negative and printed them out so they would look positive in the negative image? Hehe that's clever! Really neat effect too. |
