Nostalgia 012 : Marike

Another model who posed in the classic myodisc glasses from the cat eye era was Marike. Much the same way Brigitta did three years before, Marike accepted my invitation straightaway but with a warning about her camera fear. In spite of (or possibly helped by) the massive blur created by the excessive power of the myodisc lenses, Marike delivered this wonderful "pensive mood" portrait which was among the highlights of her photo shoot. Again, I felt transported back to the precious images seen in the streets of my native Amsterdam around 1960, long before contact lenses became available. Nostalgia at its best.
