An Honest Hand

I don’t know about you, but I love hands! Dh118

Unlike a book – where the content often doesn’t live up to its cover -hands tend to tell an honest story.

Hand made, hand written, hands on, hands off, hands free, hand shake, a beautiful hand.

Oh yes, and even underhand!
Of course, throughout history, hands have been manicured – literally and metaphorically – in an attempt to hide the scars and blemishes of life and what they actually purport to offer.

IMG_9063A couple of years ago an unfamiliar pair of design agency hands presented me with a relatively modest film contract.

Deep down I didn’t trust the finesse of these hands despite the promises and acceptance of terms and conditions of contract.

So I decided to ignore my intuition, which was – as it transpired – a big mistake!

We produced a remarkable series of films – on time and in budget – for our client – the designer.

His client – a major international oil and gas customer – was absolutely delighted with our films.

However, the designers’ hands were dishonest. Dh114

He refused to honour our contract.

Expensive litigation was pursued and inevitably a lot of money was lost.

Recently, honest, intelligent and sophisticated hands have come my way.

And that has made all the difference!
