Hands


Denied a useful touch
paper-thin and brittle,
coffee-splotched hands

    Beautiful photographs. Hands make such an interesting alternative to facial portraits, they tell a story all of their own.

    What incredibly touching photos (no pun intended!). Hands tell a multitude of stories about who people really are.

    Nice use of lighting in these shots. It shows the details in the hands perfectly

    I do find a type of beauty in the paper think skin.

    You've seen these hands do so many things. You convey that exquisitely in the stillness and light of these photographs.
