I took a candid shot of what I quickly imagined to be a "blurry mess" of a relationshop. There was not much light, my hand was not steady. For me a blurry picture is not just a less sharp image or an impressionistic view. It has to be more than an impression, more then a simple shaking of a camera. I might be wrong but that's the way my mind works when I take pictures.
I made two prints of the shot and imagined more on the story. Crumpled one and tore it, there was a note also .... the man looked more and more surprised, I changed the light when looking at the new scene and took a shot.

I was disappointed to realize that this is a photo of a photo, but I really do like how it is laid out.

I'm hanging this in my fantasy art gallery

I don't know if this really is a blurry mess -- but it's quite cool. Reminds me of a Salvador Dali shot.

Beautiful shot! Appears to be a ball of crumpled paper in the foreground.
