Bus stop, Boise, Idaho, 2010

I was drawn to this subject by the hand grasping the post of a bus shelter. I felt a sense of exhaustion, and photographed it accordingly, as an abstraction.

I always am looking at the hands of my subjects, Carol. They can say so much. Thanks for this comment.

I too see the exhaustion in this person, with head leaning on the hand which is propping up his head in return. Hands gestures are one of the most expressive parts of the body in my opinion. I like how you abstracted this with the hand more prominent than anything else.
