Beer Glasses

A conversation with David "globalgadabout" yesterday on the merits of still life Beer Glass Photography made me wander to one of the shelves were some of mine are kept.
I was going to take them out and arrange them, but one look told me that this was a bad idea, especially as there is another cabinet full of them.
They represent over 40 years of beer drinking and there are some rare ones in the collection. Strangely I use the same two or three glasses and have no need for all of them.
Of course I will keep them all as they are each connected with specific memories, most of which I remember.
While researching this shot I came across smaller collections of Beer Steins, Shot Glasses and even my Grandmothers Crystal Wine Glasses which she inherited, so I better stay way from them.

Beer should always be drunk from a stemmed glass...like these beauties. I too prefer the rightmost. BV :)

A superb collection ! I like how the glasses are shining in the soft light. A light carrying the memory... V.

A good glass of beer is a fine thing and even better when drank from an interesting glass. Keep up the research.:) V

I really enjoyed reading this. My collection is bar glasses, beer, every kind of wine, all cocktail, shot glasses, margarita, bi-centennial, Y2K NYE champagne glasses, even Hurricane glasses from Pat O'brien's in New Orleans. I could open a bar. All have meaning or memory attached. Most are rarely used. I love the reflections in your photo. V

a glistening array to be treasured....will try for a shot with my own lot, although doubt if I can make it so attractive...love that snifter style glass to the right..
