Where can I find photos of hands like of an old person and a baby and photos of elderly couples? Thank you for your help!

i dunno really - thats a bit specific without treading into stock library territory. are you wanting them just for reference? if so have you thought about using Poser? they have some quite detailed hand models in the prop libraries.

Try talking to your relatives, most people, even if they are camera-shy, don't mind having something like their hands photographed. :c)

What I want is a photo of a really old persons hand and then on top of it a photo of a baby's hand. If I have to use more than one photo and combine them that is ok. I don't have access to an old person or a baby. I would think it would be rude to ask an old woman if I could just take a close up photo of her hand. I am trying to capture hands of every day and not of hand models or illustrations of hands.
Thanks!

I don't think it would be rude to ask to take just a hand photo... If the person was told what it was for - i.e. a brochure on aging, for example, then I think they would be flattered to be able to help - maybe contact with a rest-home and a playgroup may solve this for you. I think it comes back to communication and feeling useful.

Maybe this is a little bit what you are searching for:
