What I had originally envisioned was to have the entire walking cane in 
the foreground out of focus, and the glasses in focus. In terms of 
composition, it didn't quite come out how I envisioned.

I had in mind the cane being the now (after), and the glasses being the 
past (before); the present is up in your face where you can't get away 
from it, but the viewer's mind is still focused on the past.

Visually, though, you're probably right. :-P

D'oh. Can you tell that I'm not old enough to use these things myself? :-)

Alright!

You know you've been raytracing too long when you describe a criminal to 
the cops in terms of a mesh.
