May 2018 Monthly Theme – Hands
The monthly theme of May 2018 is “Hands”.
Every month I will post photo challenge and topic. Anyone interested in participating can post an image in the thread to show how you depict the topic.
People have gathered around campfires, in town squares, over meals, and in other places to tell their stories. This month’s challenge will be to tell a person’s story by photographing only their hands.
The photos of hands demonstrate the struggle and burden placed upon them. Our hands help us to do everything from working and communicating to creating art and making music. Each hand can tell a story about a person’s life.
Show the person ’s journey and how it carved and shaped their hands. We, as viewers, are left to fill in the story behind each one.
The object of the monthly challenge is to get us out and shooting.
The shot should be a new shot you took this month, not something from your back catalog.
( Download the image to your FC account and post the link to the image in this thread ).
There are no prizes for the monthly theme just the fun and satisfaction of participating.
( There is a chance that those that decided to participate may see one of their images on the start page )

Many of the most iconic photographs of the 20th Century are not technically perfect. They are slightly out of focus, overly grainy, or suffer from other problems. What makes them great is that they captured a moment in time which was special, and that couldn’t have happened if the photographer wasn’t there.
