Who would you have been in another time and place? Post your image!

Thought this might be an interesting diversion for some folks...

Find an image of someone and post it here. It can be someone famous, but it doesn't have to be - just someone whose image you feel you relate to outside of time or place.

Think of your interests, your passions, your syle, your attitude and try to imagine yourself in another era, another geographical location, another life altogether. Get creative! Google image searches, flickr, photobucket, even Youtube...any resource will do.

There are no rules except for one: don't use someone that we all know is alive now or is likely to be alive now. Reach a little further back, please. :)

And, remember, if you choose a picture of a child, you can only link to it.

This is me:

Great thread idea! I'm torn between two (one died in 1937, the other in 1968):

It depends on my mood and the day of the week, and where my imagination wants to take me. I've always loved history and I've always enjoyed imagining myself to be part of it.

I could be:

Or perhaps:

Or maybe:

Sometimes this:

This is an excellent idea, MM! Since we are looking at another place and time, I thought I'd go with a parallel universe! I found this image in a British Photoshop magazine and really identified with it. It's from a world where the Samurai and the Knights Templar evolved into one organization: A Samurai-Templar!

Great choices, everyone!

BadNick, I'm pretty sure Dylan is still in possession of his body and won't let you have it. :lol:

I find it interesting that most people stuck with their own gender...

or species.

Hmmm, well that made me re-think my choice and I think it certainly fits. I identify with, but am not nearly as talented as:

I would like to think I would have been one of these Williams:

Failing that, I would likely have been this Thomas:

I like the way he dressed.

Oh, are we supposed to say who our people are?... or leave that to be guessed?

okay then...I can go there. :)

and if I were to really flatter myself

I put names just because I couldn't identify some of the other pics.

I took them off so later posters can guess.

(and no, I'm not referring to the Jockey)

His great grandson is moving to the new Virginia State Fairgrounds stable. Rainaway was found with 20 other horses in an abusive and neglected stable in Tennessee. The rescuing group says he looks just like his famous ancestor.

I didn't choose specific people; rather, I chose pictures (mostly pieces of art) representative of a time period I have wanted to live in at one time.

In my case, the sad reality is that sexism in days gone by prevented many women from being accomplished composers/performers. Franz Liszt (the figure in the picture I chose) was nearly as good as Chopin at composition for piano, but he also had a playfulness and joy that I really relate to. His works covered the range of emotion better than any other composer, imho. Also, he gave up learning Hungarian, just like me! :thumbsup:

This was more of the original idea...to find pictures of anonymous people who you might picture yourself as in another time... :)

i started out wanting to find an image of a guy with a beard looking at a guy with a beard, so melies, but then i got distracted.
somehow elmer fudd was the result.
