Le Gant de Main

Boulder, CO

When renowned feline street photographer Henri Kittier-Bresson heard about the "Hand of Man" challenge, he decided to come out of retirement to pursue a project involving a bi-lingual pun. He may be a bit the worse for wear, due to rather too many late nights at the Cafe des Artistes, during which he lost his ears and had them sowed on backwards by an incompetent French doctor who had been self-medicating with Absinthe, but it was still an immense privilege for me to be allowed to document the creative process. Henri insisted I use Ilford black and white film, of course.

The B&W conversion is perfect.

Thanks Jim and Traveller. The glove is quite thick. It just stays upright on its own. I have many pairs of running gloves, so I picked the one that worked best. The B&W conversion, BTW, is the DxO Filmpack Ilford Pan-F, tweaked by me in Lightroom. I read that Cartier-Bresson used Pan-X, but DxO Filmpack doesn't have that one, so I picked the closest one. I used to use Pan-F myself, many years ago.

Me too...the Hand of Man indeed. How did you get the glove to stay so firm and upright?
Best Wishes, Traveller

LOL. I love it.
Highly creative, in addition to being a very fine photograph.
