With most people and with most shots, it's the face that tells a thousand stories. For this homeless man, it was his hands.

These two hands that have done bone-weary work; been exposed to a lifetime of freezing cold and searing heat day-in and day-out; that have held meager portions of food to survive a few more hours.

And on this day hands to hold his sign and hands to express himself to another stranger in hopes of touching a heart.
