Lucy 201

Martin from Köln supplied these Silhouette glasses from

the 1970's. In my subjective memory these were happier

times in which money was not the dominating factor it is

nowadays. Somehow the glasses with the big frames gave

the streets a sunny aspect and I missed that when retro

eyewear took over in the late 1980's. But there are signs

of improvement. The big frames are back and there is more

variety than say, one or two years ago. I hope that the big

frames will contribute to make the world a happier place

again, if only to look at :). Lucy definitely made a contribution

of her own. In my eyes, everything in this portrait is perfect.

Feel free to disagree with this elderly nostalgic....
