Hands, Homewood Cemetery

Human hands reveal a lot and can be every bit as expressive as other parts of the body and face.  Here are some of the most expressive hand photographs I have seen by Steve McCurry....you know him....he made the famous photo of the Afghan woman with the penetrating eyes.

Sometimes the hands can be an important part of a statue as well.  I saw a wonderful statue that was part of one of the headstones in Homewood Cemetery, where I have been photographing recently.  I have a photo of the statue's head as well, but the hands, in isolation, also seem to tell a story.

I promise I will have some non-cemetery photos coming up soon!
