Does anyone else take photos of things that are out of focus on purpose? Maybe I am crazy but I like this look for certain things and end up doing a lot of these (or maybe my eyes just don't work sometimes

)

Pentax K200D for this one

You're not

Focus and intentional out of focus are just means to create a picture.

Not a big fan of out-of-focus shots, but, I will say that some work better than others.

I was going to leap in and say yes but actually I can't find one example in my photos! I know I have in the past but certainly not recently as my preference is for something to be in focus somewhere in the image.
