Hand and Cloth
by Shu

Nonni is now 98 years old
This was taken when she was 92.
She was actively working as a
seamstress and always reminded
us of how much her work meant
and that she would never give
it up. Now, however, she sits in a
nursing home with very little memory
of those happy days.

Canon EOS 10D
1/20s f/5.6 at 120.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I really like this photo, both for the texture of the hands as well as the color and texture of the fabric.

I really like this, but can't say why other than it's a classic and reminds me of grandma.
