Hedi, you and i have something in common

Hands....
Men's hands
Strong,
but lean and soft.





The hand that never touched,
when you so expected it to



Truth flows from the mind; the hand transports it into being.
*



Remarkable hands, storied hands.
Hands, hands can build.
Hands can mold, shape, and speak.
Hands can grasp for the heavens, touch it and believe in the make believers
*





Heart and soul become one as fingers scrawl quickly, feverishly.
*



Hands live to caress and love.
Hands live to fight and die.
Forever living hands, forever exploring are hands.
*





(* Pieces of poem 'Hands' by Bruce Alan Humphrey)

All photography by Hedi Slimane.

Hedi Slimane and i actually have another thing in common.

"Truth flows from the mind; the hand transports it into being."

I like that :)

Awesome post Mila, perfect melding of poetry and imagery!

danica said...

Hmm, I too like men's hands :) They are an acceptably erotic body part. Hope all is well with you, dear Mila xo

Hila said...

haha, I agree Danica - you can also stare at men's hands without it looking too strange - other body parts are a little bit more taboo :)

Beautiful post Mila - I love this topic.

My husband's hands are strong and thick and not pretty at all - I don't think Hedi would like them - but they are beautiful to me. Nice to have a reason to reflect on those little things!

Truly beautiful Blog from imgaes to choice of music. What/who is this playing?

Susanna-Cole King said...

This is so beautifully, and hands are truly symbolic and powerful! Love the pictures and your words together... and the music on your page set the mood perfectly.

At first I thoughtt the first song playing was the same one from a commerical I love, though I don't think it is... but oh, I will share the commerical anyway, with fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, because for a commerical, it is so beautiful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgu7tZtQLvc

Have a lovely day my dear! <3

I found your blog recently, and this post compelled me to tell you I really like your blog.

The poem and pictures meld so beautifully together, it made me slow down and appreciate every line and every image.
