Weekly Photo Challenge: Unfocused
May 4, 2012
My first thought when I saw the word for this week’s challenge was “Oh, no”. The author of the challenge said we’d curse or cheer this theme. I sat and considered the topic, contemplating what blurry photo might fill the bill.
It was then I had my eureka moment. A photo I had taken just this morning was sure to be absolutely perfect! I pulled it up on my computer screen for a look. Alas, it was in focus despite having been taken with my cell phone while driving 42 miles an hour down the road. Who’d have thought that would be the case? Not me I can tell you. (Here’s the link to see that photo: Antique Car and a Penny-Farthing post.)
I started sifting through the archives. I came across quite a few unfocused photos that I had decided not to trash (yet). This one showing the cover of Diane Keaton’s book is one of them. I love Diane Keaton. She’s got great style. She’s smart. She’s funny. She’s talented. I had snapped this photo as a reminder to myself to get the book.
As I looked at the photo more closely, I noticed the patch of red in the upper left and the reflective quality on the right. I wasn’t attempting to capture those elements. I do, however, like what they bring to this unfocused photograph. It’s a bit like Diane Keaton—unexpected and appealing.

Nice to hear from another who loves Keaton. Do you have a favorite movie of hers? She’s been good in so many I have a hard time choosing a favorite.

Thanks for your comments. It’s not often one hears about the writing that accompanies a photograph when the main subject is the photograph. Thanks, too, for letting me know your favorite Diane Keaton movie. I’ve not yet seen ‘Reds’. I will have to get it.
great take on this week’s theme… i love DK as well
Thanks, Jo!
