#888 - Horst P. Horst
Lisa, Hands with Flask & Flowers, 1941 (Printed Later)
"I like taking photographs because I like life. And I like photographing people best of all because most of all I love humanity."

#3 - Wynn Bullock
Woman's Hands, 1956 (printed 1991)
Wynn Bullock, to my mind, is one the greatest 20th Century photographers. Often eclipsed by his more well known contemporaries, Edward Weston and Ansel Adams. This is a haunting portrait of his mother’s hands taken in his modest house in Carmel in 1956. The beauty of the print just knocks me out and is the definition of the word “primal”.
