 Not all blur has redeeming qualities. Here either less blur, or significantly more blur is needed. Instead, this is something best categorized as "should be rejected". At the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley where they have a full-sized replica of the Oval Office as President Reagan had it set up during some portion of his time in office. The not-quite-properly blurred gent is a tour guide - gets to stand there all day and say the same things over and over. Dapper dresser, though, don't you think?

I like this in a bizarre sort of way. The tour guide looks much too large to be real.. The back of the sofa just barely reaches his knees. It has a wonderful "Alice in Wonderland" feel.

I like the bloated hand.

Slightly disconcerting to see things in the oval office being so distorted!! Haha!

That Coffee Table seems so MUNDANE for the Oval Office, like Nancy bagged it in a yard sale or something...

I'm a sucker for marginal heads in wide angle shots. I think the blur is just right.

He's not blurring, he's accidentally erasing everything tricky dicky style, and RR hid The Button behind the picture of Whistler's Mother (which has been erased).

So this was pre-Monica, right? I mean, I'm looking at those elegant couches and thinking, "Oh, surely not?" And didn't Bill have disco lights and one of those illuminated floors installed? Anyway, enough of that silly smut ... where did RR have The Button? Will they let you press it?

Yes you wonder how bored he is saying the same thing over and over, great room, we have a lounge similar to that in the room.

I'm sure he feels a little blurry after repeating a spiel ad infinitum.

Very dapper but his tie is crooked! :) I like this blur, it seems quite natural.

did you try black and white? the blur makes it look like he's shooing you away. No photography!!

The shoes are in sharp contrast to the days which must, for him, pass in somewhat of a blur.
