Hands of plenty

I wanted to shoot a mechanics of music styled thing with Sweat X in a panelbeaters in the old part of town, but Sweat X ran out of time. It was when Shawn and I were getting the keys for the workshop that I caught a view of the owner's hands and realised how fascinating I found his fingers wrapped around his keys. He had bumps and cuts all over his finger tips which often happens when mechanics are trying to fit new parts and they have to fasten the bolts which are placed in obscure little holes. It gave me an idea for a picture story of the hands that manual people use to make their living. So this is the First selection from that series.
