I think I will name my next dog Bokeh.  And I can't wait to tell my wife
that I've got bokeh mojo.

My favorite bokeh lenses of late are a Voigtlander 50mm/f1.5 and my old
Canon FD1.4 from the mid 60's.  It warms my heart to think of the President
of Corsa (the Japanese company that makes Voigtlander lenses) deliberating
about bokeh in his lenses...I understand he has more bokeh mojo than any
other living human!

No bokeh for me this week...I have to take pictures of mountains and lakes
and geysers...wait...could there be bokeh with geysers...Jerry?
