It's sometimes difficult to guess the approximate age of the

glasses in my collection. In this case, the size of the OWP

glasses would lead one to beleive that they are 1980's but

the blue decoration on the sides has the marbly structure

that was popular during the 1990's.

These OWP glasses were shown in my photo shoots with

Mieke, Elena and Farishta (first weblog). The difference in

Rx between the left and right lens makes the glasses suitable 

for models with a prescription of -4 (e.g. Elena) but also for

models with a prescription near -6. Needless to say, all these
portraits show to some extent that the model has monovision.
The left lens is fairly close to Lucy's own prescription but the
right lens is too weak and this accounts for the bit of squinting
with the right eye in this series of portraits.

The final portrait in a series of eight, showing Lucy's great

posing in glasses by the famous Hans Winkel. Nothing from

this series was left out. There was no need....

Photo shoots may seem a serious affair but there is always

time and space for a bit of craic. When I paid Lucy a well

deserved compliment about her beautiful, varied way of

posing in the Hans Winkel glasses, she treated me with this

radiant smile. Very rewarding for a humble court photographer!

Glorious posing by Lucy in Hans Winkel glasses from

Amsterdam as it was three decades ago. The reflection

in the huge lenses contributes greatly to this fine portrait.

I came across these Hans Winkel glasses at a street fair

in the "Jordaan", Amsterdam, in the 1990's and bought

them for a couple of guilders. The first owner of these

glasses must have been a lady of wealth and taste. The

other pair that I bought from the same stall was an ochre

Christian Dior from the 1970's which was shown by model

Mirjam during the catwalk at the opening of my first exhibition.
