Jared: I don’t really know what to say about this photo. It seems impossible that you would find this kind of synchronization with theses hands all over the place. Unless, you’re a street photographer, that is. That said, seeing it is one thing and making a (great) photo of it quite another. I’ve messed up half a dozen (or more) similar coincidences that I saw happening in front of me and just couldn’t get right in the split second it was happening. And it isn’t just the hands. That chain link that connects the two people at their backs has a sort of fable-like quality that adds a bunch of mystery to the photo for me. Like there’s a story or a lesson in the photo that I’m just not quite getting. Maybe with repeat viewing.
