Arthritis Aches a Lot, by Anthony Dell'Ario

This was a photograph prompt sent into my blog by a reader. My task was to represent the prompt in a creative way. The hands are my hands, lit from below by a strobe. I triggered the camera (which was on a tripod) using a remote behind my hands. This photograph prompted a good discussion about the debilitating effects of arthritis, and how it typically isn’t taken seriously by those not suffering from it. This Photographs was taken on September 8, 2010 in Seoul, Korea
