This image is by Angela Strassheim under her "Family Study" Photograph section.  I could not find much information about her, but I really like this photograph.  She is known for using vibrant colors, and taking images of objects and figures. She identifies with the middle-class American family. She is interested in forensics and in this image she shows the ropy veins of the woman's hands. Each of the photographs in this section had something to do with family, so i'm assuming this is her mother, or a grandmother in the family. I really like the vibrant color and the detail in the old woman's hands. I also like the composition, how her body and hands are to the right and not centered.  I think she was trying to show the detail in the woman's hands, and get an image to remember this woman by, without necessarily including her face.
