there's a lot o' bling happening in this photo negative. and some pretty pudgy fingers too!
Yo! Word up! You be hangin' in the 'hood wid yo bros?
It looks like the male hands are the Godly ones, and the female hands are the Devil ones!
G-"Oh, How I love thee, God Bless my Family..."
D-"Oh, No you don't!! Be a bad man, don't Bless anybody..."
Pretty neat photog, though.
UGH...I forgot to mention, it looks as though they have matching his & her watches!
I like the single eye peeping out from his left armpit.
This looks like a disco dance gone very, very wrong......
@ FREONZ- You've one great eye, yourself!!! Cool FIND, Freonz!
@ MONA & CLOVER- Please go back to the pic from June11th/08, titled "Anywhere but Here".
I've left a reply to the both of you!! Well, maybe you could call it a reply, but certainly an admittance that I've kept it a SECRET to myself for the longest of time!
Maybe I'll send it in to POSTSECRET!
@ MONA & CLOVER- It's www.foundmagazine.com/comments/4577
Is this creepy or haunting? Hopefully ten or fifteen people will weigh in to determine that.
Gay people give the weirdest high-fives.
Photo taken at 6:37.
Gay people have the weirdest high five! Too funny. Best comment yet. One can always count on Tulsa Turbo.
This is why I never learned sign language - it's too complicated.
I'm still trying to figure out how many people are in this picture, and whose hand is whose.
gay homies, and their complicated gang signs
That IS too funny, Turbo!
Is it just my screwed up screen at work, or do I see a little muppet face in the lower left corner of the picture? It's probably just the way the clothes are wrinkled, but I swear I see two eyes, a nose and a mouth in the darkness.
It's the muppet messaiah showing up in photos again.
Really, really fat hands! At first I thought it was the back of the hands touching, but then with the placement of the watch I realized it was palms touching, but just not enough flexibility in the chunky wrists to let them touch all the way.
At least the guy's real one-eye isn't showing.
I agree with Holly it definitely looks like they are wearing matching his and hers watches which is really funny to me.
I love shadow puppets! It's a bird!

I love that, the more i get to know people that I 'meet' here on found, the more we're alike. Imagine a weekend thing where we're all in the same house.... lol...it would be so much fun.

This is like the painting of the last supper, there are too many hands.
As it turns out, I am fluent in sign language. I got very excited when I saw this find.
Whoo hoo!
However, because the hands are not moving, I can only make an educated guess, which is: Signing Book (as in a book used in an ASL class). Did it slip out of a teacher's folder? Did someone steal it for an art project?
Or, it could be something totally unrelated to sign language, in which case, never mind.
For some reason, this picture invokes thoughts of Do, the leader of that Heaven's Gate cult who wanted to hitch a ride on the Hale Bopp Comet. But I don't know why!!
Oh Look! Skanky looking MALE American Apparel models!! (eewww.)
I love the Castro district. Everyone is so friendly there. I miss that city.
This could be a sign language transparency for an overhead projector lesson. Or it could just be invisible cat's craddle game....
8-1/2" x 11" is one helluva big transparency (or come to think of it, B+W 'negative' is what it actually is), jolly expensive to create, and quite difficult to lose in the gutter I would have thought.
Must have been an advertising project, surely. Maybe for the watch(es)?
Nahhh you could print that at home in four minutes from a digital picture. (probably the case for whomever printed it. Both hands belong to the same person and they are behind their back showing the flexibility they have and ability to touch his hands behind his back. the other hands belong to a moron who wanted to be in the picture.
