Welcome to Friday Foto Flogging, a place to share your photos and photography news. We were inspired by the folks at European Tribune who post a regular Friday Photoblog series to try the same on this side of the virtual Atlantic. We also thought foto folks would enjoy seeing some other websites so each week we’ll introduce a different photo website.

This week’s theme: Surprise! Unexpected photo ops.

Website of the Week: Lens distortion by Stephen Eastwood. Shows what the face looks like when shot at various focal lengths.

AndiF’s Story Time is Time

	Time can be so immense that it’s beyond our comprehension and yet we still struggle to place ourselves in it. Click image for larger version
	And time can so fleeting that we think it must have waited for us. Click image for larger version
	But time also reminds us that second chances occur again and again and again. Click image for larger version
