What a powerful portrait of the hands that rock the cradle, She is truly a woman who has not had an easy easy life and yet is more beautiful than a model could ever be.

This picture is awesome. Truly amazing artwork. The details of The Kara women hands, and wrinkles displays the hard work she does daily.

This picture is wonderful. It tells a story of The Kara women without seeing anything else except the beautiful, hard working, wrinkled arms and hands. Pictures like this is inspiring to any photographer.
