If These Old Hands Could Speak

If These Old Hands Could Speak :)





If these old hands could speak, just what would they say? What incredible stories would they tell? In a series where we're left with more questions than answers, Alex (or Algo on Flickr) shows us just how powerful faceless photos can be. For years he took pictures of aging hands, sometimes providing a simple story to accompany the piece.

For the one above, he shares, "She spends a lot of time searching for her stick, so when she has it, she holds tight. She was also holding onto life."

Flipping through his photos, you'll find that many of the centenarians who's hands these belonged to have now, sadly, passed away.
I got in touch with Alex to ask him more about this series. Read that short interview, below.
