burnt embers

I had a request for something more figurative and less abstract. So here it is.

This shop assistant kindly posed for me wearing these right angle glasses.

They were in the case with some old cameras, but we found them much more interesting than the cameras.

The glasses have mirrors in them so when you wear them you look at your feet.

We decided that they were likely worn to prevent neck ache when working at a bench all day, but really that was guessing.

They are not in the case anymore, I think someone spend the $15 and bought them – perhaps they knew what these are for.

Or otherwise had a use for them.

This is one of the few times I have found the courage to ask a stranger if I can take a picture. I should do it more often, it works.
