Shot Notes
Some oyster bar in Charleston shot with my 50mm fixed manual focus lens which I was in fact not focusing because the camera was sitting on the bar. I still like this shot though because it takes you there and maybe it is better out of focus 
you decide.
i LOVE LOVE it out of focus!! but hey, you know me!! lolol i think this is just a brilliant shot!!

Out of focus. Sounds a lot like me. ha. So it does look good, and the pink (balls? balloons?) in the corner at the window stands out nicely!

Well Polly I can tell you there is nothing wrong with being out of focus
just makes everything more , “interesting”. Those were like painted balloons on the window and I am not sure why they were there to be honest with you. Someone must have just felt creative that day and busted out the paint.

Hi John, this photo is awesome…
I totally inspired with your title “No Focus All Fun”. Actually I’m little bit tired with the perfect pictures with perfect focus and colours which I try to get for long time without any success, hahaha. I think, It’s fun to enjoy blurred, out of focus pictures…hahahaha…
regards,

This is freaking AWESOME! Love it, John. You know, not every photo has to be in focus. Some of my favorite photos have nothing in focus at all. Not I’ve gotta see your bokeh shot. I ♥ bokeh.
