Portland photographers Crisse Milner, Miles Morgan, Squid Vicious and Matt Abinante helped me test out the new Lensbaby Fisheye and Soft Focus optics for a Photofocus.com review. Check out their fantastic shots:

A huge thanks to these photographers for their collaboration–their perspectives and creative views were helpful and inspiring. Thanks also to Craig and Keri at Lensbaby for graciously loaning us Composers and optic sets to demo.
I have heard that it is the eye behind the lens that makes the shot and while I hold that to be true, I think that sometimes, as shown above, that a new lens or equipment does lend to creativity. So my suggestion to all photogs, young or old, tall or small, new or old, go and buy yourself a new toy, er, piece of equipment
