Beautiful picture ! Looks like my glasses only the frame is more red, lol !
ReplyDeletecontact lens ... cyclops sans one eye ( almost blind in my right eye)
ReplyDeleteAwesome , love the shadow effect.
I love how stark the shadow is under the glasses. Very graphic.
ReplyDeleteNice contrast!
ReplyDelete...a pair of someone else's glasses. Sorry, it's fairly lame.
ReplyDeleteYour photo is great, though. I love the clarity and contrast. Very nice. :D
Very nice, indeed. I've always loved pictures of glasses.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, one day when I set mine in the passenger seat of my car to take them in for repair, I just couldn't resist taking a picture of them. Strange, but true.
Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteThrough sleep deprived eyes lately! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteInteresting perspective! Nice shot too:)My Wordless Wednesday pics are up as well;-) Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteTrying hard not to make a spectacle of myself.. but soo often I goof :P

ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Interesting photo.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
...filter of hope mixed with equal measure of optimism and realism...:).
ReplyDeleteI continue to appreciate your camera's eye, Carmi... Simple and understated, this shot is fabulous.
Cool picture! Made me wonder how things would look if you could see them through someone else's specs.Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteToday, I view the world through temper tantrum glasses

a pair of Alain Mikli glasses that cost me a fortune, but I love fabulous eyewear. Hey, if I have to wear them everyday.... Love the shot.
ReplyDeleteThrough rose-colored glasses :D
ReplyDeleteAnd then my camera!
Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteI just put my WW post up and it is an homage to tomorrow's Day to Read campaign. As you are an obvious bibliophile I suggest you check out the link. ;)
a LENS?! Hee hee! Neat angle and shot!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW to ya!
Very nice. I really like this photo. Are they your glasses? Happy WW. Come and visit and check out my WW photo.
ReplyDeleteAfter thirty years of wearing contacts, I am spectacle free!
ReplyDeletethrough a pair of glasses much like yours :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteIt's always amazing to me how one photograph can capture so much...say so much without a word. Lovely image Carmi and the caption is outstanding!!
ReplyDeleteI view the world at least for this morning through frosted window panes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great WW.
Jillian
You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteWOWWW... THAT IS VERY ARTISTIC SHOT!.. i am wordless bout that... happy Wednesday!

I hope you have an excellent WW!
...a tunnel, often. But there's light at the end! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pic. Happy day!
It's amazing how a simple pair of glasses can make such a beautiful picture!

I don't view anything without my glasses. Can't see a thing without them.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
This is a terrific shot. Great perspective. Thanks for visiting my blog. You have some really interesting content. I'll be adding you to my read list.
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture. - sorry if I commented more than once. I am having technical issues :-). I love this picture, wish I could take more like it. Thanks for visiting my site.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shot...
ReplyDeleteThat really is a fantastic photo. I love the play on lighting and how it picks up the texture of the paper or whatever it is under the glasses. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I like the pic that you posted.
ReplyDeleteI view the world through a computer screen (HA!)
Nicely designed shot! I'd frame it, Carmi! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a pair for reading too - a nessesity in my old age. thanks for dropping by my site too. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteChris
Great picture!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic share from Carmi. :) The simplicity of the shot and thoughts is harmonious and perfect. I think we all would do well to step back once and while and see what we're viewing the world through.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Holly
ps - Happy WW :)
Well done indeed.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!! Love the shadows, very well done!
ReplyDeleteMy WW is up! Have a wonderful day!
That is a great photograph. So full of meaning and emotion - all in just one pair of spectacles!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my WW :)
I absolutely love the shadow. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shot! And glad that you liked the Being 5 comic. :-) My WW is up over at Sticky Apple Kisses. http://stickyapplekisses.com/?p=36
ReplyDeleteLovely shot...and blog as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot...you are talented!
ReplyDeletePhotos of glasses by themselves always give me a forlorn feeling, like they're missing out because whoever should be wearing them left them behind. Weird, maybe, but true.
ReplyDeleteI try to view the world through contact lenses, both literally and metaphorically. Most of the time I have clear, carefree vision, but every now and then something gets stuck in them that just annoys the heck outta me!
I do love this shot, Carmi. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great shot. I like the feet shot in the previous post also.
ReplyDeleteI view the world through the thought of "How can I blog this?" :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Nice shot, Carmi. Very artful.
ReplyDeleteRose colored glasses!
ReplyDeleteVery nice.... Thanks for stopping and commenting on mine! Happy WW to you as well!
I'm always losing mine (reading glasses). I've gotten so that I have an extra pair in almost every room! : )
Great Shot!!

Little squinty eyes. I inherited them from my dad. :)Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteI like this one...very nice.
ReplyDeleteI see glasses, and I think books!
That is a great shot, I love the shadow.
ReplyDeleteI view the world through the eyes God blessed my with and my husband curses because they see so much farther then his.
Lovely image. Very sharp and clear with a great shadow.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say I view the world through a pair of hazel very tired eyes most days.
Love the image! It's timeless. :) Thanks for dropping by my blog today.

Oh wow, I love that shot!
ReplyDelete...through some strong contact lenses.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
through a...gauze-filtered lens.
ReplyDeleteI'm happiest when I view the world through my childs eyes.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
I view the world through a dense fuzz...unless I have my glasses on! Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW
Thanks for stopping in my blog!
ReplyDeleteI wear glasses too.. in fact, I just popped out my contacts and put my glasses on (I really do see clearer with them, although I don't really care for how I lok!).
...seriously cool pair of shades (for me).
ReplyDeleteI like this image - and the monochrome works.
....through recently Lasik-ed corneas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot. So simple but so strongly composed!
ReplyDeleteNice "framing" and shadow. It's interesting how everyday things can be works of art behind a camera (or paintbrush.)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! All your pics are fab! You have convinced me that I need a better camera. And perhaps need to take a photography class too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting at my blog! :)
I second Country Dawn's comment - Rose colored glasses! ;-) Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteSo, are you inviting us to view the world through your lenses?
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and caption.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW.
very cool photo! i like the perspective.
ReplyDeletei see the world through the eyes of my girls, and my viewfinder...always with the camera! :-)
Love the shadow and texture.
ReplyDeleteGreat WW photo. Beautiful shot.
WOW, Carmi, another GREAT pic...
ReplyDeleteHope that you have had a wonderful festive season...

Love this photo!! The clarity of it is amazing.....one of these days I will have a really nice camera to do photography....For now I just have to deal with my little Kodak one.
ReplyDeleteOh the pictures I could take of our lives, and the story they would tell!!
Happy WW!
those look just like my reading glasses. Thanks for visiting my blog today.
ReplyDeletejoyful homemaker
Thanks for visiting today. Hope you will come back often.
ReplyDeleteYour WW makes me think how people view my life and if I could view the world through someone elses eyes what I would really see.
Great shot. Makes you think
Happy WW!

i view the world through words first, the camera second. i am a word person above all else. i canot see a thing without wording it up in my mind.
ReplyDeleteexcellent photograph, carmi.
Through a camera and, just like you, a pair of eyeglasses :)
ReplyDeleteLove the tone and the perspective of this shot!
Beautiful photo of something so simple.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment. your photos are great, too.
ReplyDeletei have so many of those reading glasses around the house. so part of my answer would be; those glasses.
the other answer is my camera. there are so many times i'll look at something and know i have to take a picture of it. or i'll be taking pictures and see something through the lens that i might not have seen otherwise.
What a unique photo! Happy WW to you ~
ReplyDeleteLove the perspective in this shot.
ReplyDeleteLove the perspective in this shot.
ReplyDeleteThey look a lot like mine actually. Where did you find them? I've been looking everywhere! LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Wonderful shot I love the strong shadows. Thanks for your visit to my site. All the best.
ReplyDeleteI always feel a bit lame commenting on a site that already has 108 comments. But I do like the shot and enjoyed browsing your site. I definitely will need to come back.
ReplyDeleteGreat work.
Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteI would say that I view the world through an ironic lens...But I could be wrong about that.
Great picture!
ReplyDeleteExcellent.
ReplyDeleteI need a new camera. And some of your skills and vision.
Love this one. I like the grain of the table cloth. Also the "click to embiggen" made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteYou take some awesome shots!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Carmi.As always!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool picture- I love it and I love the caption for it too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Stop by again and check out the new "club" I'm starting. Livin' With Me
Hi Carmi, thanks so much for visiting my WW...you know, these frames look just like mine! :) I really like the perspective in this shot!
ReplyDeleteLOL - love the saying with the picture. Happy WW! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI guess I am lucky enough to view the world through the eyes of my child.
ReplyDeleteOk, scrolling down through your photos, I am thoroughly humbled that you paused to comment on my little blog with my MIA photo skills... : P
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
This is one amazing shot! Spectacle-ular! (...sorry had to get you back for the toast comment - which cracked me up by the way. I'm a sucker for bad puns!)
Gee I'm only a year and change too late for this, but most often these days I'm seeing the world through a 17-55mm f/2.8 wide angle zoom (with image stabilization!).
ReplyDeleteEither that or my reading glasses... kinda depends.
