“One of the curious aspects of the phenomenon for me was that some people then, and some even now, respond to the idea scornfully or even angrily.

“Now, I have to admit that I got somewhat obsessed with bokeh after I finally became aware of it. It interested me, in particular, that different lenses render blur in different ways. Even knowing that I take things a bit too far, though, it always seemed strange to me that there are people who don’t think it’s valid to look at the blurry parts of pictures.”
