PhotoHunt: Dark

Filed under Photohunt

hand

Those are my hands. It looks like the photo was set up, but it is candid. One of my college organizations used to meet on Monday nights outside our dormitories. We used candles at our meet-ups because we were cheap like that. I was playing with the candle one Monday night when a friend caught my hands on camera.

Photo taken by Alex Pataray, and edited by yours truly.
