Mother and daughter 147

Contrasting prescriptions.... Miriam's glasses show their power rings while the image of Esther's giant eyes is  almost invisible, pressed towards (and even over) the upper rim of the glasses.

Photography of models in glasses for severe long sight has its limitations. It's best to keep the photography "en face" but I always try to stretch the limits :). Almost 20 years ago, I had a relation with a Dublin lady who had a prescription of +7.00 with an additional cylinder of +1.00. In 1994, large frames were still regarded fashionable in Ireland and she used two glasses with very large frames. The spare pair was a bit stronger and it was meant for reading but she hardly ever used it. Instead, she pushed her glasses half a centimeter down her nose, claiming that this enabled her to read well. I made lots of photos of her during our relation and this experience came handy when the "Ladies behind crystal veil" project went under way.
