What I find fascinating about blur is how computational photography has completely changed the game. Smartphone cameras now capture multiple exposures and computationally combine them, essentially solving the deblurring problem before it even happens. The irony is that we now have to add blur back artificially for portrait mode bokeh, which means we went from fighting blur to synthesizing it as a feature.
