Contemplation

Description

On a regular basis, I enjoy a cup of coffee and some good conversation with a fellow photographer/friend. I usually find myself doing most of the listening, as I learn more and more about this unique individual. He always has a story to tell. The other day, when we had coffee, I started to notice that when he was listening to me, and concentrating on what I was saying, he would clasp his hands together, fingers interlaced, and consider carefully what it was I had said, before replying. I caught this pose with my Canon G11, and only after making some adjustments to the image to render it monochome, did I notice the character in the folds of his skin and in the unique markings on his nails. His hands are as unique as he is.
