Great catch ... I love the optical illusion here ... are they sunk into the concrete, or leaping out at us ??? LOL Cool!

This image evokes a certain sadness. At first I thought it was a longing for a long past youth but then I realized it was owing more to the fact that this poor child has three hands. :) Nice photo James.

Very glad you did! What a great image to add to your PaD. Nice detail on a potentially difficult subject.

Nice job. You've made Brandon an international celebrity.

Interesting hands and footprints.. but why 3 hands? Maybe when he stepped on the cement and tried to staand up, then he got out of balanced and and that's why he had to put his right hand again not to fall out.. :o)) !

These look raised instead of imprinted. Neat find and capture.

George Christakos		15-Oct-2005 08:37
And you did very well. :) Very nice capture.

Fun shot. Wondering about the extra hand.

Brandon's got three hands! LOL. Cool find. I did this with my two boys when they were small and we added a patio...pretty funny now...they are both over 6 ft tall.

Like Dennis I'm so intriqued with the imprints looking as if they were almost a bas relief. WELL done.

The mysterious 3 handed man....

Gayle P. Clement		15-Oct-2005 01:48
This is fun. I wonder why the extra hand. I do like the image.

Bill Ewart Jr		15-Oct-2005 01:46
Hahahaha, hmmm right handed, size 7 1/2 feet, and lost one leaf!!!!

Hi, thanks for stopping by my gallery. Amazing how it appears that the imprints are actually protuding from the cement rather than being imbedded in it. I used a similar shot for an "evidence of man" project back in college.
