Hands Up

Obviously I Didn’t Get the Instruction to Pose With Finger on Chin

Found the above photo of daughter Ryan, my Mom and me.  It was taken in 2007 at a birthday party for Grandson Shawn.  (Hence, the Awesome Grandpa tee-shirt on yours truly.) 

As for Ryan’s and Mom’s fingers-on-the chin pose, it was coincidental.  Did make me think however, about a long standing discussion among photographers over what to do with a subjects’ hands click here.  Some pros say hide the hands, while others say use ’em.  Guess it depends on who you’re photographing. 

Now for a picture full of busy hands, check out this one of Buzzy with Joan and Charlie Holden.  As I snapped the picture, Charlie  was joking with Buzzy  something about having found his one pocket with no money in it!
