His hands tell an entire story…

janniev
This is simply beautiful, Paul. I love the grittiness of his hands – as Lisa says, they tell an entire story. The sharply angled light emphasises his hand wonderfully and his unfocussed guitar directs your gaze back to his hand. A moody and evocative image, spellbinding.
Paul Louis Vil... replied
Wow, that’s a wonderful comment, thanks janniev! :D
collectivebydeb
