moments of humanity
2005 - 2006
By mark kitaoka (kitaoka)

now read the name under the image above
the image is his own :-)
and the book as well :-)))

congrats on the feature mark :-) well deserved.

Vernon, thank you for your very kind comments. I'm truly moved. Blurne, this IS in fact my own image of Eugene, the owner of these hands. I used this image for the cover of my first book Moments of Humanity, which Vernon referenced, so I AM posting my own images.

I have a second book that will be published and for sale later this year, Moments of Passion - Photography of Luis Bravo's Forever Tango! dance performances.

Preciosa fotografía. ¡Felicidades!

Lovely work Mark, how wonderful for you to be published. Truly an image that makes one think and feel.

I am very, very sorry and impressed. Now I can tell you how much I love that shot. I do not only love the wonderful capture itself and the colors and all that technical stuff. I also like the feeling of those workers hands. I hope you are able to forgive. Sabine

The first thing that caught my eye,obviously, was the orange. After enlarging the the shot, the hands are why I love this shot. Well done.

Outstanding image!

Blumie, I don't participate much here, much to the chagrin of Vernon, so you don't see my stuff here much. Of course I understand why you may have thought that I took someone else's image off the book! But it's mine! No hard feelings at all. Thanks for the response and very kind words.

Thank you! I feel better now.

great idea.

This remains on of the finest images I have seen on line, anywhere. Really incredible Mark!

Brant, thank you so much. I am using this image as one of the cornerstones of my upcoming exhibition. This is also a prominent image in my pro site Tracy is currently developing. I will be doing a location shoot of Eugene this coming weekend to compliment this image of his hands with some of his day to day life.

Thanks again.

Mark, cant wait to see whats next in the Eugene series. He must be a fascinating subject. Best of luck with the exhibit (the poster looks great) and the new website.

I am blown away by this image. A new favorite.
