Are we able to access the > images from this Leica project? have you tried going to corbis, magnum, etc and searching for photos of hands? the other thing that comes immediately to mind is sign-language videos. (i realize this sounds a bit ridiculous). that might not be too good because signers sign so fast and they actually communicate with the whole body, not just the hands, so the images probably wouldn't be too close up. ooh, how about cooking shows, carpentry shows, arts-crafts shows. things like that. most chefs are highly adept with their hands, as are carpenters, potters, cabinetmakers, etc. "how-to" books and videos from the library might be good for this. plus, shows like "this old house" and "new yankee workshop" (i think that's the name) are, imo, very entertaining. it's nice to watch highly competent people doing what they do well, like watching michael jordan play basketball. - -- brad daly bwdaly@bigfatpipe.net http://www.bigfatpipe.net/~bwdaly http://www.bigfatpipe.net/~bwdaly/paw.html "I pledge allegiance to Queen Frag and her mighty state of hysteria." --Calvin and Hobbes "War, what is it good for?
