Hands

Guest Photographer Hugo sent in today’s stunning image, taken at Cascades Gateway Park in nearby Salem. His description:

This is a picture of a homeless man in the park with well-worn hands.
His hands seemed to tell of a life of hardship, yet he still had his faith in those same hands.
I liked the lighting and used black and white to bring a hardness to the picture as a reflection of his life.

This is such an evocative photo… very well captured, Hugo. And thank you for sharing.

cascades gateway park, hugo
