This blog is dedicated to ladies in glasses. The vast majority of the portraits on this blog feature ladies wearing glasses near their own Rx. I felt that this would give a more natural flavour to the pictures and also a more natural setting for the photo shoots from which the pictures on this blog are selected. Nearly all the glasses featured in this blog are from my own collection.

Osi 219
You may wonder what's there in the background between the books in these portraits - well, it's one of half a dozen uilleann pipes that are on display in the NPU library. When Osi and I arrived in Henrietta Street, archivist Terry Moylan (we have known each other since the Dark Ages) kindly gave us a tour through the building so that we could choose the best locations for the photo shoot. Needless to say, we admired the early 20th century pipes on display. The names of their makers were all too familiar to me - Rowsome, and O'Meally to mention just a couple of them - and it was a fusion between past and present to me. The same goes for the whole week spent in the Dublin area. During most of my umpteen visits to Dublin since the late 1970's it was all about traditional Irish music. This was my first stay in the area that arose from the totally different perspective of a photographer doing photo shoots with models posing in prescription glasses.
