This is from my food portfolio, and although it didn't make the cut, it's still one of my most favorite images.  My mother carried these wine glasses home in her luggage along four others as well as her china set she purchased in Bavaria. She shipped her clothes and personal things home, and they arrived a few months later. That's right, months.  

We lived in Munich for a few years in the late 60's-my dad was a design engineer for Boeing and not only did he make superior airplanes, he spoke fluent German and he looked German as well.  

Dad died in 1976, mom in 1990.
