Hands

I thought of many words to go with this image, but there is only one that is needed: "Love"


It seems a few people are confused by this image, so here is a description of the situation that it was shot in.

This image was produced in a large crowded market in southern Ethiopia. Many of the locals would come up to me, grab and feel my hands. They were surprised that my hands were so soft, smooth, and by my white skin and hairy arms. Their hands are very rough from their daily hard labour, their skin is very dark from the harsh sun and they have no arm hair. It seems they had never touched a big, white, hairy foreigner before....
