Day 15 - Hand Study

For the second day in a row, I'm going with an extreme close-up taken using the zoom on my Olympus camera. In this case, two hands cradle the liner notes from a James Brown CD at a friend's apartment.

The zoom combines with the use of the camera's built-in flash to give exquisite detail to both the natural and created forms in the shot. I especially like the foreshortened presentation of the fingers on the hand in the left side of the frame, the lines they create and the contrast between their skin tone and the black and white of the album notes.
