Flickrfan: The Flame

Photographed by jbelluch

Oh, but there inside the house,
Upon the hearth, a lovely sight.
For there sat He, in quiet repose,
The One who keeps the flame aglow.
-Keeper of the Flame

Flickrfan: Always On the Phone

Photographed by Tavallai

Keitai denwa (mobile phones) are ubiquitous in Japan, even amongst kids, as Riho demonstrates here. She’s got a blinged out red phone with a camera, internet, and everything. My own phone isn’t even 10% as pimp as this.

Flickrfan: Formando

Photographed by Eduardo Amorim

“…Decerto não morreram, os meus fletes,
e vivem nos rincões dos intermúndios…
Um dia irei fazer a recolhida,
hão de reconhecer a minha sombra
e o velho amigo que, como eles e com eles,
- campo afora –
esquecia a dor da vida
nos desesperos das atropeladas…”

Trecho de “Os fletes”, de Aureliano de Figueiredo Pinto
Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
