Belaying, 2007. Dru's hands. My latest contribution to Four. The rope runs from the belayer to the climber. The belayer's left hand is relaxed, "feeling" for minute changes in the rope's tension. The right "brake" hand holds the rope firmly, ready to yank back if the climber falls, locking the rope up and preventing the climber from falling further. I've wanted to make a picture of a belayer for a while; it's a meditative and tactile process that's much like operating a handheld digital camera. A lot of looking and adjusting.
