And thanks too, Tracey. Actually I was doing something else when I came across this pix and I thought, must quickly put this up ;-)

your fascination with hands intrigues me – they are all lovely captures – but why the hands?
richardseah replied

Ha ha Rochelle,

Good question with a long answer. Yes, I am fascinated with hands – and I actually found another Red Bubbler with a similar fascination, Hena Tayeb

For me, it was my ex-wife who first pointed out the expressiveness of hands. That sparked my interest, helped by some early successes. The first ever hands photograph I took still remains one of my all time favourites.

I am actually working on a book of Photographs of Hands. Will inform everyone here once it is ready ;-)

Thanks so much acpolkowski. And I appreciate it when people comment on my old, almost-frgotten photos.
