 Harry Benson giving an autograph of his book "Fifty Years in Pictures"

I had the pleasure of watching this man who has touched in person so many of the things I had seen from afar through his pictures from Eisenhower’s presidency to the Beatles coming to NY to the murder of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. It was an honor to be with this man for a short while who had been to places I had only watched on TV or read about in the papers. The evening was amazing and you are looking at the hands that took those wonderful pictures.

Only work done to this picture was Crop and unsharp mask. The main subject matter of this image is the hands of Harry Benson which show the age and experience of this man.

interesting picture. Love the use of space and clarity. Don't understand the title or what the subject is doing but that may just be me. Great picture.

This is a great shot. Well portrayed, and if there is an actual autograph under there that we can't see, then you certainly have something very special to be proud of. <10>

Sorry, but I don't get this. Who is Benson?

I don't really get the title, but I surely like the photo. The hands are quite clear and the placement of them by the book is well done.
