Hands

Melbourne, Australia

The hands of women in Almelo
As part of an empower project I organised in my capacity as a social worker an art project for disadvantaged women.
Painting your hands is reaching out to your hidden talents.
To honour their work I took pictures then of what they had been making.

(And today I took a picture of the these pictures.)

Canon EOS 40D ,Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS
1/30s f/5.6 at 26.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
