Second Hand Store, Chiloquin, Oregon, 2008

The huge red hand is incongruously large, and the symbolic play on words is amusing. I use the geometry created by the store itself as context – the hand seems almost as large as the establishment it advertises.

Thanks, Rusty -- your comment replicates my own thoughts as I framed this image in my viewfinder.
