I'm confused.

"This work is a personal reflection from Geoff and his sister's life growing up. Geoff recreated images displaying how stuff not only consumed his childhood home, but deteriorated conditions for daily living, ultimately shaping who he would become."

Does that mean these are not photos of children living in a hoarder's home, but rather just an "art installation" ?

I wonder if it might more likely be a simian hand (in which case I wouldn't rub it three times to make wishes...)

One reason it looks so odd is that the ring has been placed on a metacarpal rather than on the proximal phalanx.

These photos prove that a tattoo doesn't necessarily look bad on a senior citizen. They do NOT prove that tattoos will continue to look good when you are older. I will guarantee that some of the tattoos shown in the images were not inked on the skin in the 1950s...

TLDR: stabilizers and lots of fat, less water in the product

Excellent choice, John. Tx for posting this.

They were probably in the process of being made into "fake calamari" (as featured in This American Life, or you can Google it...)

Excellent. Thanks for posting this.

Congratulations, John. Well done.
