As I am laying on my bed typing this with only the light of the screen I look at my illuminated hands and begin to see how much texture my skin has. The single directional light is exaggerating the depth of the creases. The irregular fractures on my knuckles vary in distance from side to side. And the side of my thumb, that has a completely different texture, is more shallow and regular in pattern. The stripes from my thumb print fade as it moves further from the apex. I love that the veins on top of my hand are visible and bulge slightly from the otherwise flat surface. You can definitely tell that I have used my hands throughout my life. I would love to photograph this varying landscape that is my hand sometime.
I need to start using hand lotion regularly.
Something slightly more relevant: I am starting my new summer job tomorrow! Talk about a blessing from the Lord, this job (so far) is perfect. I'll let you know how it goes.
Hah! I was just contemplating my hands the other day! The sun was shining on them and suddenly they seemed really really hairy.
ReplyDeleteI loved that one of your projects was described as a pregnant worm. That's fantastic. But I find it very puzzling that you would also get an accountant reference. You had the craziest, most beautiful, colorful, delicate, interesting, bold, and otherwise wonderful creations of art in school. Do these professors know that? Is architecture turning you into nothing but straight lines?! :)
