Hand of the Help

Color, wrinkles, nails, veins, slenderness, length, so many things make up a hand, so many characteristics. Each hand different from the last, each hand with it’s own personality, with it’s own story. This hand is of a janitorial woman working in my college. She was taking a break, resting her hand and taking a breath, some peace from her otherwise tiresome day. The contrast of the color of her skin and her clothes, the position and placement of her hand, her posture, everything came together to make this an ordinary yet interesting shot.

I am all about hands and this is fantastic. Even the position of the hand is great. When I first looked at the photo I thought it was a man’s hand. Maybe it has worked too hard.
Hena Tayeb replied

thank you. it certainly has been worked too hard, the harsh realities of poverty.
