It's simple, actually. The hands belong to Andy and me. Not sure which one of us took the photo, but it was taken with my Olympus Mark IV camera and the 12-45mm lens.

It was my idea to do this. We experimented with different poses but this one pleased us both the most. I converted it to B&W and Andy liked the way his veins stood out.

This was last August, when he was here visiting.
