All in the details

I truly have a thing for hand and feet pictures. I think sometimes the sweet details get overlooked. Since I featured sweet baby feet last week, this week it is hands. From the hands of a six week old baby to an 80 year old man...the first unscarred and full of possibility of all that they have yet to do and the second telling the story of a life well lived as his hands rest on his Bible.

    Your words are as beautiful as your photography! I am very self-conscious of my hands because I'm only 41 but have terrible rheumatoid arthritis. I hope someday someone will look at my hands the way you did this man's.

    Thank you~

    Great photos! There are few things I love more than pictures to show the age of baby and the age of someone who has worked their entire life.

    Love these!
