(we)♥-bokeh
just as much as we love the bokeh effect in photos, we are already curious tho thy it. the bokeh effect is similar to when you are staring at water, let your eyes go out of focus, and can see shinny discs gliscening in the sunlight...
these beutiful photos are from artist irene suchocki, who is famous for her photos with heart shaped bokeh. if you would like to get this effect on you photos too, you only have to create a bokeh filter, which you can put onto the front of your lens and it will turn lights into heart shapes or whatever shape you desire.
bokeh comes from the japanese word "boke" by the way, which means "blur" or "haze". the japanese term "boke" is also used to describe mental haze or senility.
in photography this blur creates an aesthetic quality by keeping the subject of your photo in crisp focus, while the background appears blurry. at night, lights that are out of focus create circles of color that give photos a magical and ethereal feel. the circles are created by light coming into the lens and outlines the shape of the aperture.
so... have fun trying it! :) cu

music is...
... what feelings sound like.
... a language which the soul alone understands, but which the soul can never translate. (arnold bennett)
... below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words. (robert g. ingersoll)
... my drug.
truly to sing, that is a different breath. (rainer maria rilke)

between the raindrops...
as my fingers reach out
to the falling raindrops,
i smile as i watch the rain come down,
softly sprinkling on my skin
alluring my senses into spring awaking.
as i surrender to the beauty of rain,
swimming in a sea of serenity,
a blanket of warmth surrounds me
as i fade into the darkness
letting my mind set free.
