Default Hands - Need Photo

I am in the process of recording a vocal Cd and am working on the cover art. The title of the CD is MY HANDS. So, I need pictures of Hands/Hand, etc. Any ideas? Suggestions?

i have no thoughts on the technicalities of the photo itself other than to leave a good bit of negetive space for the text you're gonna have to use.....

i'd love to see what you've decided on.....

Take a picture of hands? I'm kidding (well, kinda, but you know what I mean).

Hands alone aren't interesting most of the time. Hands doing something are often more interesting. Doesn't help much, but maybe consider the songs and see if they bring any actions involving hands to mind.

Maybe a set of hands playing a guitar or caressing some sheet music. You could even go into post-processing and make the album title appear tattooed on the hands? First thing that came to mind. I'd definitely clone out any hair knuckles though
