Chaos is usually something we are trying to avoid. However in photography chaos can be very good. As a photographer, I can create chaos by allowing things to go out of focus like in a background while my subject stays very sharp. That chaos makes the separation I am looking for so the viewer can understand what they are supposed to be seeing. Another way to employ chaos is to make things blurry through movement of wither the camera or the subject during a long exposure. This chaos abstracts the subject into a soft organized wonder which is usually done through trial an error. That is exactly what happened here. I used a long exposure, my subject was moving, dancing actually, I had a long lens and was hand holding the camera. Every rule broken. Thank goodness for rules to break.  Create chaos for photographs.
