HANDS
stranger pictures
For the first ("make-a-thon") project this semester, I decided to take pictures of my hands.
This desire came after a discussion on techniques to develop the habbit of lucid dreaming, such as staring at your hands and questioning reality. I liked the idea of showing myself trying to develop this habit by snapping pictures of my hands a few times each day, but when I thought about it, I realized that in order to capture both hands in the image, I wouldn't have a hand to snap the photo with.
So, in the legendary 'Spirit Of The ACTlab' I was discovering, I decided to try something a little more risky - the following 15 pictures were taken by complete strangers.
1. Littlefield Cafe Cashier
2. Thundercloud Man
3. Woman In The Union
4. Snow Pea Owner
5. Potbelly Sandwich Couple
6. Potbelly Sandwich Woman
7. H-E-B Deli Worker
8. Girl Shoppers
9. Late-night Stocker
10. Shaky-handed Woman
11. Jack-in-the-Box Server
12. Hollywood Worker
13. Movie-finders
14. Jimmy John's Worker
15. CVS Woman
