Hands and the Heat

These hands were used by the Salvation Army in New York City for their Summer Heat Wave campaign poster. -- farm3.static.flickr.com/2301/2850080667_43d414fb8a.jpg

 

They were the hands of my mother, and posted in colour when she was near 100 years old. I so much liked what the Salvation Army did with the photo, that I'm posting them again in B&W. I hope you like it.

Thank you Any Angle (Annette Zeidman) who has allowed me to include her words here:

----------------------------------------------------------------

These hands...

 

held the joys of a lifetime,

the sadness of times lost,

worked tirelessly to care for a family,

and were wrung on nights when the sands of time seemed to be slipping away.
