I was discussing this with another photographer and he commented on how we spend thousands getting the best glass and optics available - and then we do something insane and throw an item like a LensBaby in front of our expensive cameras to make everything out of focus! Now that I just started trying out the LensBaby, I'm wondering the same thing myself...I can take blurry photos on any given day! But I guess it's the challenge of making a creative use of a very selective blur with a great sweet spot that is the allure. I haven't gotten it yet...

I guess some people like antiques and some like old photos. One lady from my area stains hers with tea! Go figure. Nice shot. I would love to see this area one day.
