Life and the Lensbaby

Not a lot gives me more photographic enjoyment at the moment than the Lensbaby. Yet it never ceases to amaze me how many people just don't get it. But then I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who don't get any photograph that's not a straight representation of a scene. Fair enough, I suppose - the Lensbaby certainly isn't true to life. But it can help get to the essence of a thing in a way that a straight shot can't - and that's what I like.
