My event photography falls under the "reportage" category. Frankly, so
did the vast majority of HCB's photography. Same demands, needs,
concerns. Images from the 100/2 that exploited bokeh have already been
published and are getting rave reviews.

And neither is bokeh. The OOF characteristics of our eyes really don't
look anything like the blurries of a "beautiful bokeh image" that have
an ultra fat penumbra.

I really need to get one of those Cokin "Star-Bokeh-Gradient" filters
with built in "rainbow".
