What a great study, Carin: the detail and pose of those hands, and what they convey. (My hands wave all over when I speak. I must be part Italian.) The black and white emphasizes the simplicity of the elements and the lines of the podium and mike. Without seeing the speaker’s face, we seem to see it all. Very effective.
Calm confidence. Yes, I see that too, Allison. And a sense of leaning forward, a kind of ‘entre nous’ is what I got. Rather than any kind of speechifying. But then I was there, and I can vouch for the warm vibe…
I believe I may recognize those nailpolished fingers …
I wondered if you would! (:
Not much gets past me, ya know!
haha! I shoulda know’d.
Those lovely hands do not look the least bit perplexed about being in front of the mic … real? Great story shot, Carin.
Thanks, Cheryl. Kind of a fun pic to write a monologue for, no? (:
Oui …
Confident nails heheh!
I agree!

Thanks, Allyson. To be that composed as one speaks… wouldn’t it be nice? (I, too, am a hand waver; also full body movement when I get going.)
Sometimes, Ms. Magtree, your Wednesday pictures leave me suitable speechless. This is one of those days. What a marvellous shot.
Well I’m so very pleased it speechlessed you. Hopefully only for a moment…
And thank you!
So much said with so little revealed, Carin – a true minimalist photo sculpture. And I agree, such calm confidence projected in those hands.

A reason to step outside the comfort zone of taupe?
Fantastic picture.
Comfort zone? Taupe? (;
