The hands remind me of when I was a child. My beloved grandmother had severe rheumatoid arthritus which mashed them into a crooked fist and had very little movement, but in spite of that she crocheted and knitted. During the depression she sewed beads on the ball gowns of New York socialites. She hobbled, hunched over. But as I child I held her hands and loved her. She was never able to return to Italy to see her family. Her husband had died (he was a barber) and she had two children. I have always been attracted to hands and my best friend has a large Michaelangelo print of ??spark of life?? that fresco...you know the one. Thank you Lucy for your images and words.

Baxter, you are of Bagheera. What do you see?

I imagine the hand in the ancient cloth, rolling a hoop and a stick, chewing penny gumdrops pilfered from the general store.

These are good practice studies Lucy

I am currently trying to gain more control over

my SLR by practicing Manual and Priority exposure modes

rather than the point and shoot modes. I find working with

Apeture Priority offers the best way to learn how to create the

image I want.

Well done

lovely writing pyrit. I need to do some work on this photo, taking it differently, against different backgrounds. The cloth is ancient Coptic vestment. I have to be very careful with it.

Thanks Carole. Hands are very interesting. I have arthritis in hands, neck and knees, but not rheumatoid. My grandmother had horrible arthritis and just grasping her hand hurt her. Hands are gorgeous. I hope to take more photos of hands, other people's hands.

No image I'd rave about in this batch, just potential. I will keep up the studies. I am really enjoying it. I will redo the hand in ancient cloth photo on a red background, which will bring out the faint red in the needlework still extant.
