Ray, I may very well be inspired from a painter without knowing it. During late eighties and early nineties, I painted a lot myself and studied also many artist’s work in detail to get inspiration and knowledge of how different subject matters could be visualised. I was in particular inspired by the German expressionists from the last century (mainly 20s and 30s), but also by North American artists like Hopper.

I keep coming back and looking at this and am still not sure what it is about the image I like so much. It is a totally different take on the scene than I would get. My focus would have been on the person with the rest out of focus. There is a painter feel to this and I am searching my books for the one that it reminds me of. I like this a lot and a new perspective for me.

Thank you all, especially Karin who seem to have convinced Santa that I deserve more glass.
Earl, the Lensbaby is sometimes confused with tilt-shift lenses, for reasons. This particular scene really looks like being taken with such a lens.

Ove, Santa just called told me you have been a really good boy this year and that he wanted to give you a soft focus optic… You will find it on your kitchen table this evening. <3

Ove, I’m not a big fan of the lensbaby but I have to say I do like this photo! It look’s unreal — like a small scale model town with close-up photography to make it seem life size. Something about the white building and the out of focus areas bring that to my mind.

I’ve never tried the lensbaby but I do enjoy its effect when it is put to good use as you have done. I hope to see more of these.
