Show Me Hands

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

Hands are such a great subject to photograph because they express so much about emotion, strength, frailness, work, love, kinds, and other things. So in an effort to get back to showing off your photos and getting feedback and providing inspiration, I would love to see your photos of hands.

@shutterbugger I think I've see your picture before and wanted to tell you that I just love it. Aging with grace is what I call it.

@shutterbugger that is what I am talking about!

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

@john244 I always loved this photo and the texture on your palm. That is why I had my friend Greg follow you while he is in Afghanistan this year and glad that you followed him. I have known him since I was 13.

The hands seen to be very small in this photo but they are very important to one tuxedo cat

[Laynalynn]

@brumbe The hands in my shot are mine.

[Trina P Holub]

Michael's hands can hold and IPad and catch a falling clock at the same time...amazing

@laynesgram great skill, do you post photos of your quilts often. Off to go check

I love hands! I don't take many pictures of hands because I generally stay away from taking photos of people.
But I did take this photo of my nieces hands

And ... this may not exactly fit .... but it looked like a hand to me at the time

Here is one of my current series "Nightmare". I have actually been approached by a couple of local Seattle bands to use a photo from this series for an album cover but I have no idea what I should price it as. They are small time bands so I can not expect to get a ton of money out of it. Just some thing fair. Any ideas?
