National Geographic Your Shot
Ageless Beauty | Photograph by Nima Zadshir
.
“I had never given much thought to an old woman’s hands until I looked at my grandmother’s wrinkled ones covered with age marks,” writes #YourShotPhotographer Nima Zadshir. “Now I regret not giving voice to what those hands represented. Funny how something so ordinary becomes holy when viewed through the lens of thanksfulness.”

“Beautiful Nima. I love what you wrote, and how intimately thoughtful your words are — they elevate my experience with your powerful portrait. I love how quiet your photo is, and because of your caption, I feel your regret and thankfulness. This frame is no longer just ageless hands holding a flower. Rather I feel your reflection on a passed moment. Well done. Very well done.” — @natgeoyourshot Producer David Y. Lee (@davidylee)
