[Leica] Re: Photographs are to look at

["Roger Beamon" <roger@beamon.org>]

I fear that you guys are prepared to make too much of boke. I'll 
not go looking for it. It is secondary, at best, to my 
consideration of a picture's worth. Boke will be felt in an overall 
way and, if necessary, contribute to or detract from a picture 
only if the in focus stuff poops out.  

Don't let paralysis by analysis happen to photographic 
evaluation the way it has crept into my golf swing. :-)
