Description
“It is always a joy to look through an extensive collection of photographs and see a very high standard set and adhered to… These pictures portray the enormous eloquence of the human hand. I was amazed at the range of emotional interaction that can be expressed in an image of a hand and the panoply of relationships that can be communicated… A most successful and worthy undertaking.”
―Dick Bond, photographer and astrophysicist
“Your images of the art work are wall hangers. They are wonderfully exposed and composed and well balanced in regards to white balance. Great job.”
―Elliot Stern of Blue Ridge Photography
“The incisive poems of Claire Scott are the perfect complement to the expressive photography of Joan Scott. Claire probes the vagaries of everyday life and Joan’s close in images of hands symbolically express often overlooked aspects of the human experience… an eloquent and evocative rendering.”
―Robert Madden, former National Geographic senior assistant editor and staff photographer
“When do we ever stop to take time to look at hands? To understand their meaning in our lives, their work, their patience, their skill, their wonder? Here is a book celebrating hands, stunning images illustrating their capacity, awesome words illustrating the images, two sisters working together like two hands.”
―Kim Chernin, author of In My Mother’s House and The Hungry Self
