Hands 

Artist Statement

The assignment was to take a photo emphasizing hands.  I was walking around the school looking for cool photo opportunities and came across the bus mirror. I held my hand up to it and took a few photos. This ended up being my favorite.

I think the composition is very interesting. I like the curved lines and how the actual hand is present in the foreground and in the reflection.  The hand and mirror interact with the edge of the photo and this makes it interesting.  I like how the bright yellow color is present in three different spots. It helps to balance the image and create unity. I also like how my ring and middle finger are right smack in the middle of the photo.

I don't think that this necessarily tells a story, but it does show a moment in time. I look very focused reaching towards the mirror.
