Before the Europeans arrived, the original Floridian inhabitants made use of the bounty of seashells. A display at the Weedon Island Preserve Cultural & Natural History Center shows how these shells were harnessed to make early tools and fashion items.
Earlier today I made a comment on this photo. As per the request I decided to shoot my hand. I find myself both proud and embarrassed by my hands alternately. I work with my hands always whether on the computer, in the studio, or at the farm. I enjoy my work and am proud that my hands show it. On the other hand I sometimes find myself in situation where I may be judged by my hands, and seen as poor, dirty, or lowbrow, especially as a woman. No matter how often I wash them, I find dirt under my nails, and a random smear of paint. I long ago gave up polish because it chips within a day. I am usually sporting a band aid, and have many scars. Not to mention I pen notes on my palms, and forget they are there. So there you have it, my hand. An honest self portrait with no enhancements. So, if we ever meet, remember when you go to shake my hand ;-)
As if there wasn't enough to read here, i just remembered and had to add...
Last night when I was driving home this song came on the radio and brought me instantly to tears. I thought i must make a photo for this, and then went home, went to bed, got up, and forgot till just a moment ago! It was the Jack Johnson/Ben Harper version, but this one is just fine!
I can change the world
With my own two hands
Make a better place
With my own two hands
Make a kinder place
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
I can make peace on earth
With my own two hands
I can clean up the earth
With my own two hands
I can reach out to you
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
Im gonna make it a brighter place
Im gonna make it a safer place
Im gonna help the human race
With my own
With my own two hands
I can hold you
With my own two hands
I can comfort you
With my own two hands
But you got to use
Use your own two hands
Use your own
Use your own two hands
With our own
With our own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
