The nonprofit organization Journalism Education Association (JEA) puts out four issues of their magazine Communication: Journalism Education Today each year. The summer 2019 Issue 4 of Volume 52 features the photos of Cadence Russell and Angelina Valtierra in a Q&A about the bokeh technique with journalism teacher Jessica Stamp.

The photography students did the bokeh activity before winter break as a daily activity to challenge them into understanding depth of field, focus, and light. The classes went to the library and practiced using the Christmas trees, ornaments and lights.
