I thought that I would share something different.

I work as a Social Worker for a Hospice agency and was asked to come up with a way to photograph patients on our service. I came up with a photo project that involves taking a photo of the patients hands with something personal to them and then placing that photo in a folio type card with a poem on the other side known as "The Blessing of Your Hands" The families have really appreciated the project so far and I thought that I would share with the community here.

Super idea and one the owner of those hands will appreciate. I can visualize hands also with photographs of loved ones in them.

I have thought about including some family members. This will be an ongoing project, so I'm open to interesting ideas

Powerful images --- RE Ideas request --- include the hands of family and friends --- esp the young. Might also develop patterns of generations interlinked in a circle or series using DOF like a chain from the past to the future. Also younger hands holding the older. Closeups of older hands and arms holding children would likely capture tenderness and sense of generations. Just thinking ...
