The Hands Face Street Portraits

- hool - Monday, August 19th, 2002 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

this is a project that i've been working on for four months, and i've finally finished it.

our hands make us much of what we are. we shield ourselves from strangers, especially in city streets. these nineteen photos are an intersection of those ideas.

i walked the streets of toronto, approached total strangers and asked them to pose for the series. roughly two thirds of the people i asked declined.

you can view the series (in chronological order) on my site. click here to view the series

Gem Stevens: good stuff

incredible as always, hool, you've taught me to operate with a blown mind

zagg: 22nd Aug 2002 - 00:29 GMT

wow. i really liked this, and it inspired me, but they were all copy cat ideas. AND makes me really wish i was going to toronto soon.

hool: 22nd Aug 2002 - 02:18 GMT

zagg: i'm sure they weren't exact copies. good stuff comes out of working with someone else's idea that you found interesting. ideas are found, not owned.

zagg: 22nd Aug 2002 - 11:31 GMT

hool: they were basically exact copies, but... but... then again... maybe a small town version would be interesting? either way, i introduced a friend who was eating in my office with me to your work. we both like, very much.

zagg: acht. i hate when i forget to type my name in ;/
