There she was, covering her eye, laughing…what was going on here?
Following the link, I discovered a terrific photo-diary being kept by Ahn Sang-Soo. Each image (over 3,300 to date) reveals the subjects covering an eye.
Flash forward to a tasting at our favorite local wine shop Silverlake Wine. Friends and client Valerie Confections were part of the savvy shop’s “sunday at three” series which pairs four wines with four tasty treats.

Fellow taster Yon and I snapped pictures on his iPhone. It made made for a fun, slightly boozy series of pictures:
