The Hand-Some Journey

The Hand-Some Journey: Portraits of Elders Reflecting on Their Life Journeys is a bold and innovative photography book that offers a much-needed antidote to the dearth of elders' stories. It combines stirring visuals with eloquent text to explore and celebrate elders' most intimate loves, dreams, and memories. Unlike most portraiture, these photographs never reveal the faces of their subjects. Instead, the camera hones in on their immensely expressive hands, and on a single object that the person has selected to represent the essence of his or her journey.
