Handmade - The Human Touch

Earache

In our modern, mass-produced, consumer culture, some things are still better done and communicated by the human hand - guided by our seemingly limitless imaginations and urge to create.
I enjoy looking for, and capturing, people working by hand...

2. The Artist




3. The Musician




4. The Blacksmith




5. The Weaver




6. The Entertainer




7. The Gamer




8. The Jeweler




9. The Interpreter

Thank-you a bunch Cristóbal!
I also like the close-ups best... And, my original idea was for only close-ups, but, decided to include other images for interest and variety.

Thank-you Sara, for looking and commenting - I appreciate your viewpoint!
I've also appreciated your images of your travels in Europe... I'm getting an armchair vacation!

...On Sunday I stood for a few minutes to watch the pictures change in a digital picture frame that I had turned on. My gentleman friend said "you could just look at pictures the entire day, couldn't you?" And I replied "yes, I probably could". I guess that's the crux of it - we are all here because we love looking at others' pictures as well as taking our own. I too, enjoy armchair traveling and seeing the world through the eyes of others. There's so much to learn and enjoy!

Cheers, Sara

I think your observation is quite right Sara... we all seem to be afflicted with photo-itis... likely incurable.
