I've seen pictures that emphasize this. Normally, with the help of certain patterns, to better emphasize such a clear point and how as the picture drifts to the background, the focus starts becoming blurry.
So when I see patterns - like the weaves of a particular chair, I can't help but want to experiment on such a camera trick (as shown in this picture). How does one do this? Simple enough... you hold the camera close to the end of said patterned surface, and focus on the closer part... though make sure you tilt the camera enough so a sufficient portion of the background can be seen as well.
Then, once the focus is set at the nearer pattern, just take your shot. Review the picture and retake as much as you like (a prime advantage in this digital age - these instantaneous viewing of said shot, and retaking without worry of wasted film). Like I said, this trick works best with patterns, but photographers use a similar trick when achieving the 'macro' shot in portraits. I know I've done this in the past as well. So why do it again? Well, to keep practice is a must... to further hone what I have - or remember it by practicing once in a while. But most important, to just take the pic and be amazed at what I - with my camera, can achieve.
