Alex: Through wars and through peace to now. This is the first photo of just a hand that I took, and it came about by acci­dent. I was driving this lady to a clinic, and we had to wait in a car park. I had my camera in my lap (you know how you do in case something photographic turns up,) when I hap­pened to notice the light falling on her hand that was guard­ing her handbag. Camera on lap, screen facing up looking down for a rough sighting and auto-focus, I managed a shot before she moved. Imagine my delight (and surprise) when this image came up on my monitor. Talk about luck.

Alterednate: Great capture, it really does speak 1000 words.

Nony vogue: Wow, the lighting is amazing. This is quite the shot. I'll add it to my faves.

Lynn Morag: It's a beautiful snapshot - just think what experi­ences that hand has lived through - from the turn of the century in a world when the motorcar was rarely seen, no streetlights, houses without electricity...

Cilest: Very impressive! Sensitive and beautiful light. Wish I had taken it.

Swirl: Gorgeous pic:)! more proof that we outlive our bodies...

Bainers: When I first looked at this photograph, I thought it was in black and white. But, it is not. I really like this.

HKCB: A really beautiful portrait. I'm impressed. The framing and focus are excellent.

Rongzoni: There is so much strength and character in this por­trait - I can feel her eyes looking out across history, with

tears of sadness and joy! It makes me remember my grand­mother too, with great affection! Ted Foo: Beautiful and touching! What might this hand and its owner have been through in their life? Every wrinkle tells a story.

c) Look through the text again. Find:

a) different ways to say the word "photograph";

b) useful words and phrases to describe a picture;

c) a comment you agree with.
