today i learned "bokeh".

i've seen and heard that word tossed about a bunch when on flickr and other photog sites, but for some reason never looked it up. it comes from the japanese word boke which means blur, and it refers to the out-of-focus parts (or the quality of those parts) in an image. this was a particular fun word to learn especially since there is a lot of bokeh in the photos i take.
