Hi My Friend Michiel,Well things start to clarify a little around the idea of a book.
There is another thing one must not forget that unsharp photographs are a sin for most professional photographers. The other day a photographer was hilarously telling me he was on an exhibition with unsharp photographs.
A sharp photograph is highest on the list of his capabilitys, otherwise they are fuzzy.
Greetings, Michiel
OOF is very good - lovely, lovely, lovely.Hi My Friend Michiel,
I am afraid that the following image "Elizabeth" is probably one of these unsharp photographs! Best regards!
Hi My Mentor and Friend Keith,OOF is very good - lovely, lovely, lovely.

Well, there could be a clear link of themes, if we all start making bokehgraphs of maritime themes ...The idea of Raphael for an exhibition in Brussel is very nice although I don't know if it should be in collaboration of a painter. May be if there is a very clear link to the theme.
Leica:G1 + Leica R Summicron 50mm. "Vibes".
Having coordinated a major exhibition, printed book and e-book on behalf of the Olympus Photo Safari Group - I would be the first to applaud anyone generous enough to undertake such a worthy project!Personally, I am averse to that idea (ie. AFA my images are concerned).
IMHO, if this is done through this site, it may or may not help this site.
Look at some examples (sites) out there that have this sort of schemes.
One ridiculous site publishes books/calendars and such (selected by a few who run that operation) and every contributing member is obliged (or spammed) into buying a copy. :thumbdown:
That said, I am sure Jack and Guy have a vision and purpose for this site and they would answer that question.
Keith, I have the perfect solution... send Vivek half and you can both forget about money for the next 50 years, plus we can get on with this book project! :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:I am what most people would call a successful business man. I have created one company that was sold in 2002 for enough cash to keep me going for another 100 years. I have another software company that I am still running that could get more cash than that. Cash is not on the top of my mind.
Quite. Just what I read into the corresponding "messages" on the subject.Just kidding, money is only ever a problem / obsession when you don't have enough
Kweide:Just to inform you:
I am leaving !
Heading south, arriving Italy tomorrow mornig. Will have a nice week in Florence and all that nice stuff around... See you later.
Next time someone starts a thread with a new phrase of an age old theme (e.g. fuzz), please specify that any images in that thread would go into a book.

Four put downs in one sentence! You are a master of misintrepetation.
Someone ?
New phrase of an age old theme?
Fuzz?
You know as well as everyone that the idea for a book just popped up a few posts before by Klaus. No one is trying to trap you into a book from the beginning.
The force to know all things better can get in your way and as so often on fora can make things start to turn sour (again).
As you state you are a free and happy person, so live up to it and do not put down peoples ideas or fuzzy things up.
Have a nice day
Michiel
Hi My Friend Keith,Leica:
This one is intriguing, why did you call it "vibes"?
It reminds me of those high speed camera photos where a bullet pierces an apple - my first thought is to call it "shot" or "projectile" or something . . .
As Ranger pointed out, I think naming is essential to this art, and he has certainly got me doing it.
But the name need have no relationship to the original subject that gave the image. For instance, I did one a few weeks ago in the UK that I called "Mist over the Lake" (I think) - but the subject was the footpath outside of my hotel window. Thats whats good about bokehgraphs, you can run wild with the imagery, if you are doing these pure abstracts.

Beautiful colors! Outstanding bokehgraph! :thumbs:"What's going on inside?" - inspired by Kweide

Hi My Friend Jerry,Woodmancy and Leica77 I like you "abstract" bokehgraphs. Great colors. I had a bad habit deleting my fuzzy images. But now I have discovered the beauty hidden inside them from now they will survive...
