The Old World Photo Gallery by Jean-Luc Elias at pbase.com

The Old World

As a young boy I have always dreamed about timemachines and traveling into the past. Or is it that I want to master and stop time? Anyhow, getting older makes me more and more nostalgic I guess... New images comes first in the gallery.

I need to spend a lot more time going through this gallery, but it's overwhelmingly good! You have a great variety of processing techniques here which are all subtly different, yet cohere to create this feeling of age and lost memories that builds on itself as one passes from image to image. Truly superb work! V.
