Linda is a lady blessed with many qualities, one of them being her spontaneity. It was my pleasure to watch her assessing her looks in this ensemble of a giant hat and huge glasses with "dégradé" lenses. The four portraits in this series were taken within fifteen seconds and this capture shows the model's moment of praise for the ensemble. Never mind the December cold outside....

The "dégradé" lenses in these huge glasses from Dublin certainly add a touch of mystery to a lady. The hat was a recent bargain on the beautiful Greek island Crete. If you like to start a collection of hats, Crete can be recommended. I paid the princely price of five Euros for this giant pink hat.

These huge glasses were acquired in Dublin, shortly after the turn of the Millennium. When Linda saw the large table filled with pink glasses, this was one of the very first pairs she tried on. Here she renews the acquaintance, checking her looks with the help of an invisible hand mirror.

Linda has 20/20 vision so it made sense to use glasses for both short sight and long sight. This Italian pair by Bon Lux has lenses for very mild long sight (+0.50) so Linda could bridge the distance to her photographer with ease. The glasses were featured in six previous photo shoots. Small wonder, the frame is simple but attractive. This is fine posing indeed. Although not a regular glasses wearer, Linda made an excellent choice from the pairs selected beforehand. A thumb rule at photo shoots: "The more a model likes a pair of glasses, the better the posing".
