Chairoscuro

I have this lens I made myself, a soft-focus lens that I used in several of the images of carrots. Really, I made it just to make these photographs, just for me, just for her. I'm very fond of it, and the images it gives me are just what I wanted and needed at the time. I know more images will come from it. I've been trying to think what to name it. Other lenses are given names by their makers, this lens deserves one just as much, I think...

Today I was looking in my lens cabinet, and started noticing the names of some of my other lenses...

Hypergon, Imagon, Metrogon, Ultragon, Astragon, Planigon, Rodagon...

And suddenly I knew what I wanted to name my lens. It will now be known as the:

"I-wish-she-wasn't-gon"
