The disembodied hand

My photographic skills are modest, but people still pay me to take pictures on occasion. I've photographed weddings and corporate events, and even taken and edited some video.

Last summer I put together the first draft of some instruction manuals for Sierra Wireless, a wireless modem manufacturer. If you go to this page and download the Installation Guide (the second link -- it's an Acrobat PDF file), you can see some very non-artistic photos I took of setting up and installing a wireless modem card. Though I'm right-handed, you mostly see my disembodied left mitt in the photos -- because I was holding the camera in the other.

Although informative, they are perhaps the least interesting pictures I've ever created.
