[OM] Bokeh question

I have a question about bokeh.

My understanding is that refers to how the out-of-focus areas of the image 
look.  But in stereo photography was are trying to have everything in focus 
(by using smaller apertures, avoiding long lenses, etc).

Can you talk about bokeh in a picture where everything is in focus?

Yeah the 50/ macro has much nicer bokeh than any of the other 50mm Olympus
lenses. That's one of the reasons I used it for that portrait.

Here's a photo at f5 that shows the bokeh as well as the wide-open sharpness
well.
