"Viewfinder" is a short story by American author Raymond Carver.
It was originally published as "View Finder" in the Spring/Summer 1978 issue of Quarterly West, and in the Winter 1978 issue of The Iowa Review.
The narrator is obsessed with the fact that the elderly man has hook hands, and invites him into his house to see how he will hold a cup of coffee.
The narrator decides to have the hook-handed man take more pictures in his house.
Indicative of Carver's often dissociative and working class themes, the story focuses on the connection between physical deformity and social deformity, the hook arms being a shadow of the narrator's anti-social behavior.
