The definition of BOKEH according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary; 
“the blurred quality or effect seen in the out-of-focus portion of a photograph taken with a narrow depth of field.”
It wasn’t until I set out to write this piece that I did research on one of my favorite photographic techniques. I always called bokeh “those cool looking out of focus lights.” Once I learned the techniques name, my fascination with it grew. In my research, I found that the photographs I was drawn to the most were those of out of focus city lights, and out of focus Christmas lights. One had a frantic beauty, the other a more calming comforting beauty. All beautiful in their own unique way. I wanted to capture in music what the photographer captured in film. To capture a certain kinetic electric energy. To capture a certain kind of momentary beauty. To see through music the photographers eye.
