Once again, McFarlane simply rotates a capture ninety degrees clockwise and catapults the viewer into a different universe.

No time like the past, by IrenaS
I love doing this kind of manipulation, and obviously a lot of other people do, too. But why? What is it about making an image look like a fifty-year-old photo that's been kicking around in somebody's dresser drawer for all that time? Part of the answer is that artists have always loved creating windows to new worlds. Personally, an image like this allows me to escape to a different time and place. I feel an emotional nostalgia for a place that never was, yet it feels as real as anything in my waking life. And that's it! Artists like IrenaS are dream makers. And to me, dreams are as essential as the air I breath.

Ava and Andy, by Tom McFarlane
I'm not a fan of baby pics, but Tom has transcended the ordinary cute-baby photo. Those extraordinary eyes and the Mona Lisa smile convey a feeling of precocious intelligence, a knowing glance that says "I know that you know what I know."

Between 2 jokes, by Tous les noms...
Tous les noms... is a very talented Parisian photographer who specializes in street portraiture. I appreciate his democratic approach to finding models: "Everyone is welcome. Everybody is interesting. Don't be shy."

Strange creatures with twisted limbs of charred bark. Lots of beautiful nature photos today.
Natural Twist - Chantilly, by Marianne Le Carrour
Another common pattern in nature, reminds me of the shape of a hurricane on a weather satellite photo.
ice-crystals, by Nettan75
I used to think I wanted to be a scientist, and it always fascinated me how nature repeats the same patterns in completely different contexts. How feather-like these are.
"I'm afraid to say...", by Sandytrail
I'm surprised I don't see more shadows on flickr. This one seems especially poignant; the body language is wonderful.
