A nice round dozen wishes to represent these 12 wine stems or the 12 months of the year. Often seeing things others don’t, or paying attention to odd things, I photographed these glasses after a cruise bartender polished them. An air of mystery is added by not showing the entire vessel, making one work to recognize the subject. Catching the afternoon light was more intoxicating than the imbibition they would soon hold.
Will your glass be empty or full this year?
