U.S. federal design tends toward woeful mediocrity...
Our currency is singularly unattractive, and our stamps are generally boring. Even tiny third-world countries produce far more interesting specimens.
Now there's one more reason to cheer for America, one more patriotic flag I'm willing to wave. The Post Office is releasing a new series of stamps called Masters of American Photography!
These black and white photo stamps may be the most beautiful the U.S. Postal Service has ever issued. They include the photography of Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, Ansel Adams, and many others.
I am in philatelic heaven.
