A captivating photo series titled “3 Glasses Later” illustrates the delightful changes in people’s expressions after enjoying three glasses of wine. As a physician, I often witness the toll that daily stressors take on individuals, particularly parents. This series, created by photographer Leo Martinez, highlights the infectious joy that can surface after a few sips of “mommy’s happy juice.”
Martinez, inspired by the saying that the first glass is for food, the second for love, and the third for mayhem, invited friends to his studio to document their transformations. The project began with initial photos capturing the fatigue and stress that many experience after a long day. Following this, he took successive pictures as the participants relaxed, shared their lives, and enjoyed their drinks.
The results were enlightening. Each set of photos showed a clear progression from tense and weary to happy and carefree. Martinez noted that people from diverse backgrounds—be it music, art, or fashion—came together, and as the evening unfolded, laughter and stories flowed freely. This transformation demonstrates not only how wine can lighten the mood but also the importance of social connection.
In our busy lives, it’s easy to overlook the necessity of making time for friends and relaxation. Many parents joke about their wine consumption as a coping mechanism for stress, and it’s true that sometimes, a little laughter and a glass of wine can make the world seem brighter. While scheduling a night out can be challenging, as these images reveal, a casual gathering with a few bottles can work wonders for our well-being.
