Lola's Hands

Lola is a fascinating singer from Africa. She was in the studio for a portrait session, and during some good-natured kidding, she challenged me to an arm wrestling contest.

I couldn't believe such a feminine woman could have such incredibly strong hands! I looked closer and realized that they were as expressive as her voice and face.

I pulled out some Polaroid 665, asked Lola to let her hands sing for her, and ended the day with a different kind of portrait.
