Glasses with a story.... Last winter, a lady from Germany
offered some of her old glasses for sale on Ebay. A pleasant
email exchange developed between her husband and me
during and after the bidding process, resulting in a decision
to do the transaction during a meal in Amsterdam rather
than through Paypal. It was nice to make the acquaintance
of Steffen and Bettina. She obligingly put up some of her old
glasses before parting with them. Her prescription with strong
cylinders made her glasses unlikely candidates for the start of
photo shoots but the frames were interesting. Now the funny
part - Bettina had a full moon shaped face and she explained
that she went for "crazy frames" as a counterweight. When
selecting the glasses for the photo shoot with Claudine I came
across Bettina's glasses and decided to bring them along. To put
it in French: "les extrèmes se touchent". The straight rim of this
half rim frame somehow compensates the overall image and
Claudine puts added emphasis on this by her posing. Mission
accomplished!
