Eyeglasses Required

Has anybody else noticed the oversized late 1980s eyewear is coming back in 2007? And the term geek seems to be used a lot lately. I made this assemblage a couple years ago when I noticed the similarity of the specs. I collect found pictures and make a few myself using an archaic 35mm Pentax camera.

Wikopedia claims...The definition of geek has changed considerably over time, and there is no definite meaning. The social and rather derogatory connotations of the word make it particularly difficult to define.

A definition common among self-identified geeks is: one who is primarily motivated by passion, indicating somebody whose reasoning and decision making is always first and foremost based on his/her passions rather than things like financial reward or social acceptance.

Geeks do not see the typical geeky interests as merely interesting, but as objects of passionate devotion. The idea that the pursuit of personal passions should be the fundamental driving force to all decisions could be considered the most basic shared tenet among geeks of all varieties. Geeks consider such pursuits to be their own defining characteristic.

Yes.

The geek on the left is Bill Gates...brainy billionaire brandman. On the right is a former version of me....more quirky than geeky, something that is more true over time as my choices and lifestyle are decidedly unconventional.
