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: ![]()

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.

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!

I put names just because I couldn't identify some of the other pics.
I took them off so later posters can guess.

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.
