These hands have touched infinity. They have caressed nature far beneath the ocean. They have sacrificed for humanity and far beyond humanity--for creatures of the sea that support us all. These hands are our father's hands--trying to protect us with wisdom when we are foolish, sensitive, youthful and strong. These hands that are no longer with us are honest and truthful--hopeful that we can be one species on one planet, compasionate for every living thing.
I like this such an important detail you catch from the everyday life: hands. I always tought that the hands of people show so much about their soul. Maybe it's a bit silly, but I never got wrong with my first impression transmitted by hands.
Perfect choise of the film for this shot, and much more I like how the reflection creates a perfect simmetry in the image.
Hi William. Are the grainy status result from using a iso 64 as a 100 or 125 ? Or did you use anything to give this insteresting grainy view. The text you wrote is also beautiful. I always pay attention to those men whose hands have been at world disposal. Maybe a project at this site in the future. "Hands that helped the world". This would include those famous people we know and those we privately know in our place. I mean that woman who , free of cost, taught poor people to read, adn write; who looked after sick children... Beautiful pict.
