Artist's Comments

This is again from my series on my friend Jer. Because he is a quad his fingers have atrophied causing then to curve in.

Update: I've corrected with color removing the green tint


Tech details:
Scanned from a silver gelatin print with a HP Scanjest 4070 into Photoshop CS3. Were it was post processed. It was original shot with a Sears Mamiya TLS 1000 MX body and a 55mm F1.4 lens. The film was Fujifilm Neopan 400 135-36. Which was developed by hand with Kodak D-79 developer and printed with a Besieger 4x5 enlarger on a 8x10 Oriental VB Fiber Based Paper.

Silver gelatin prints are avaliable. Please contact me for information

My English is quite bad, could you explain that? It's a beautiful piece, by the way :)

Jer is a C5/C6 quadriplegic this means that he has movement and feeling in his arms but not his hands. Becuase of lack of movement in his hands they have atrophied or weakened this cuases his tendons to tighten up so his fingers curve in. Does this help?

Very nice, I like the composition and somehow it looks like those curves hands are trying to say something.

I like the shape her hands have made. :thumbsup:
Wish it was slightly more in focus though.
