So, I'm not dead, but I am still time poor, and I miss shooting with my camera!

Today I had the great privilege of taking some shots of my friend's new baby daughter. How the professionals do it is a wonder to me. Babies have to be the hardest subject to work with as they just don't want to do what the photographer wants them to do.

During my journey the idea hit me for this shot. The skin tone of the father's hand emphasises the lines on his hand which, quite obviously, is the inspiration for the title.

Hi Stuart Being the father I am obviously chuffed that my hand is now on your website for all to peruse! I, too, didn't anticipate how moody the little model was going to be! But it is a lovely photo, thanks again for all the hard work!

Glad to see you're still with us! Great shot, the idea works really well especially with the B&W and the feathered edges. Hope you get some more time with your camera soon!

When I try to hit previous I get this error: A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again. Other than that - fantastic shot - we have a new little one at home and I like this set up. Cheers

This makes me miss my daughter. She is growing up too fast. NIce shot. I know what it's like not having time in life, but its worth it.

Great idea and great shot! Really fantastic!

It's not just the hand, trust me the rest of her is just as gorgeous. From her proud uncle.

I love these type of images. Great b&w, but I'm not sure...the lighting looks a little flat. Still a great image though!

   Ryan - March 21, 2006 12:00 AM

What a beautiful idea and very well executed...

   flygirl - March 25, 2006 10:09 PM

Amazing shot, I even think I've seen clipart on MS's office clipart site just like it. Bravo. Very touching. On a side note, I think you should brighten up the text as I oculd barely see anything, people should be enjoying your site, not squinting at it. Anyways, take care.
