Hands {Photography Contest}

For a long time now I’ve had a project in mind. I’ve wanted to photograph people’s hands holding mugs–mugs of tea, coffee, hot chocolate. The drink isn’t important. It’s the hands. …elderly arthritic hands, young chubby hands, worker hands…you get the idea.
When I Heart Faces shared their weekly contest theme of “hands”…I wanted to participate since I too love them. {Hands that is.} Unfortunately my project exists only in my mind so I had to settle for the models that I know and love. {And, frankly, the only ones I can afford.} I took about 20 shots of our little art time yesterday. I think this one is my favorite.
I enjoy the contests because they present a new challenge for me each week. It’s nice to be creative in a different way than just in the studio. I love photography but sometimes the last thing I want to do is pick up the camera at home. I Heart Faces gives me a fun reason to do just that.

Love this shot. Perfect lighting, composition and your son’s expression is too cute. What concentration!
That project sounds fun. I hope you get the opportunity to work on it sometime soon.
