Hands up for WWWe!

When the first WWWe photograph was taken at Schumacher College, a number of people in the crowd were wanting to make a 'W' with their hands.  Different contortions of fingers and thumbs emerged.  When I looked at the resulting photograph, the strongest and simplest seemed to be two flat palms facing forward with thumbs meeting in the middle.  I tried it out and it felt good.  The next day at Totnes railway station, I asked Bill McKibben what he thought.  He tried it out and agreed.  I took a photograph then he boarded the train; the start of his journey back to Washington for the big gathering the next day. And so the WWWe 'W' was born.
