the only thing I like more than bokeh

is bokeh giveaways!

I bought a 50mm last summer 'cause Melissa insisted I would love it. She is SO right. It is by far, hands down, absolutely my favorite lens.

but.

sometimes if your subjects aren't all the same distance from the camera, they won't all be in focus. which is sometimes fantastic. and sometimes bummer.

I would LOVE to be able to get that effect with everyone in focus sometimes.

and MAN is it crazy what photo software can do these days. it boggles the mind, I tell you.

ps: wondering what the heck bokeh is? see this picture? see how the background is little circles? that's bokeh. it can manifest in a lot of forms, but this is the first one that came to mind.

anyhoodle, cross your fingers for me. :)
