ReplyDeletehenna art is quite intricate and beautiful. i had the privilege of having henna art on my arm and leg when i was in India. it stays on for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteI want to apply that mehndi, but I can't :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful design , vert arty !
ReplyDeleteAmazing hand! Great photo. About the stairs in Astoria, I just found out from a commenter that nobody stole the stairs - there was some mistake about the stairs, and the police report was issued but not retracted. So the official news is still that the stairs were stolen, but the people who work there say it isn't true!
ReplyDeleteExotic and strangely beautiful. Nicely captured.
ReplyDeleteNice photo... And now we all can truly say.. that your wife has a hand in your awesome and beautful photography.. :)

I thought this must be a bride's hand and wonderful to know it is your bride. So beautifully done - my goodness, she must have been so patient at the time.
ReplyDeletePS. I'm vegetarian too, in reply to your comment on Menton, for which thanks.
This is beautiful work. It reminds me that years ago when I went to visit my friends in Dubai, one of them had a sister who owned a hair salon and henna shop. She decorated my hands with henna. It took at least 3 hours or more and I had to wait for it to dry. It lasted about 3 months. I would wash my hands very carefully with mild soap. People in Atlanta did not know why my hands were decorated. I went to the big Market and an employee from Ethiopia asked me where I was from, when I told originally from Paris, she could not understand! I have some pictures but they are with my old camera, not digital.
