Hands Expressions

This study of hands expressions is absolutely original inspired from the everyday life. I do want to thank, deeply from my heart, all of you who loved and support this project so much. When I begun to think the idea of this gallery, I really didn't expect so much response from people in and out of Pbase. I do appreciate it! Thank you!

Real good idea and nice pictures; interesting to see so many different variations of the theme! Mind if I borrow it? I would like to focus on hands playing an instrument or handling a tool, which I find fascinating ... and something you're close to here is the special way most women use their hands at the corners of their mouth, when eating icecream or juicy fruits:-) Ole

I love this idea. Hands are naturally interesting and captivating. I've devoted an entire blog on the subject of human hands http://handlines.blogspot.com/), and I am constantly surprised to find that there is always something new to say about them. It is a subject of endless intrigue.

Guest		07-Oct-2005 08:57
I like your idea. Hands can cannotate and imply a lot, and carry a lot of meaning. I like to occasionally try and get pictures of people's hands doing the things they love to do, i.e. painting, playing music, cooking, etc. Very nice BW tones. My only criticism is that you might consider paring the gallery down to your ABSOLUTE favorite, most meaningful images. The images themselves are minimimalistic, so maybe the gallery might benefit from following suit.

Gul Chotrani		06-Oct-2005 15:33
