Photo 365: Day 246 – TDS: Hands

Todays daily shoot assignment: A person’s hands can tell a story. Take a picture of someone’s hands today.

We had a busy Sunday. We spent almost the entire afternoon at a picnic with friends and later this evening spent some quality time with friends.

I shot this picture of my little boy’s hands as he was enjoying watermelon at picnic this afternoon.

    I love this! I wanted to shoot chubby baby/toddler/little kid hands, but we’re all out of them. My baby is 5 now, and has big boy hands.

    This is a very interesting picture, not because it tells a story, but because it doesn’t try to tell the whole story. Inevitably when I look at a photo like this, the story initially appears to be merely the captured act (or implied activity) but leaves each individual viewer imagine the whole story.

    There are some people who will say: “but you didn’t show his face!”. Those are the people who have forgotten (or never knew) that photography is not about xeroxing the world, but about the art of capturing a story.
