Good Fortune

Jeremy Green “Good Fortune” 10/14/17

The hand is a strong symbol representing generosity, power, and purpose among many other meanings. The left hand can symbolize death in some cultures. A dear departed loved one gave me a cut crystal orb many years ago. Now it sits on a window sill and catches the late afternoon sunlight, spraying the living room with rainbows. I like to think of these spots of pure color as angels from the departed, who might also be sitting up there on the window sill. The other day I let an angel land in the palm of my hand and I photographed it. A fortune teller might read this palm and tell a good tale. This photographer thought that the image needed simplification of background and color, so that was created in Lightroom. A leathery texture was added for embellishment by sliding the Clarity slider hard to the right. With that, the image took on more meaning to me and was removed from being simply a photograph.
