Out of focus photos aren't always bad

It's the memory that matters...

If you've visited this blog in the past, you may have come across some photos of the girl in this picture. In some photos she posed normally, and very strangely in some other times. Her name is Yoko (塚本 陽子), a friend I met in Sydney almost a year ago. She is here under work holiday visa program which entitles her to stay in Australia for one year. She's due to return to Japan in September.

Last Thursday we visited the Opera House at night time, and thank to a passed-by tourist who offered to take a photo for us. I normally don't keep out-of-focus pictures. So when I was about to delete it, Yoko stopped and said to me: "Tora, the picture is not clear, but the memory is what matters." I nodded and replied: "Alright, I'll keep it."
