last handshake

this is my family photo for three years ago. I and my 94 years old great-grandmother's last handshake, one week later she had passed away. photo is out of focus because I was crying like a child.

This photo is so very full of deep feeling. When I saw it I thought of my aged Grandmother and all the love I had for her. Wonderful work.

Junji, this is such an incredibly, touching photo & title. It's great that it's out of focus, because it adds to the emotional feel of the photograph.

A moment of silence is needed for such a strong emotional piece. You have captured a pricless moment in your life.

I agree with Jo. I think it is even functional this time because of the emotions and the fact that it is a hand of a very old lady
