Lensbaby

I have an original $99 Lensbaby. They have been around 6 years and have gone through a lot of changes. The first model has a single element plastic lens with 3 aperture rings that must be changed manually. The lens has a small in focus area and the rest is blurred. It is mounted on a bellows so that you can move the focus area around. It's a very fun lens but not accurate and not easy to use on a long exposure. Here are a few shots I took at my parents house on a very foggy night. The backlighting is provided by sodium vapor lights and is very orange. I converted them to gray scale in Photoshop. There are nine in this series that I call, quite cleverly, "The Foggy Night Series." I would like to have all nine printed on stretched canvas for a gallery show. Sponsors?
