Flickr Group Showcase – January 20, 2013 – Mobile Photography & Imagery
We have put together another very special Flickr group showcase , our third of 2013 with some of our favorite images submitted this week. The quality of submissions continues to rise every week, so we have decided to make our showcases that much bigger to incorporate as much of this stunning mobile art and photography as we can and to get it out to a wider audience.
Each image can be viewed on Flickr by clicking on the relevant artist below:

French Lyrics
comme tu veux
comme tu vois
comme une vague qui roule et roule tout droit
comme il faut
toute sa vie
jusqu’au jour où elle change d’avis
je voulais me reculer
me perdre dans un coin noir
comment peux-tu t’avancer?
sans direction sans savoir
tous ces détours
tous ces jolies aventures
c’est pas ma faute
c’est pas ma faute
si je vois la mer à travers mes serrures
c’est comme ça, ce monde à moi
de temps en temps j’entends des voix
des sirènes qui me tirent
je peux plus m’empêcher de les suivre
je voulais reculer
(me voilà plaquer contre le mur)
mais il faut s’avancer
à toute allure
tous ces détours
tous ces jolies aventures
c’est pas ma faute
c’est pas ma faute
si je vois la mer à travers mes serrures
chaque détour me plonge
dans une jolie aventure
c’est pas ma faute
c’est pas ma faute
si je vois la mer à travers mes serrures
tous ces détours
ces jolies aventures
le tour du monde jusqu’à ta porte
où j’ai vu la mer à travers tes serrures
…c’est exactement comme tu voulais…
chaque détour…et je vois la mer à travers mes serrures
English Translation
as you wish
as you see
like a wave that rolls and rolls straight forward
as it must
all its life
until the day where it changes opinion
i wanted to withdraw
to lose myself in a dark corner
how can you grow?
without direction without knowing
all these detours
all these beautiful adventures
it’s not my fault
it’s not my fault
if i see the sea across my locks
its like that, my own world
from time to time i hear voices
sirens that pull me
i can longer resist following them
i wanted to withdraw
(there i am against the sea)
but you’ve gotta respond
to every call
all these detours
all these beautiful adventures
it’s not my fault
it’s not my fault
if i see the sea across my locks
each detour plunges me
into a beautiful adventure
it’s not my fault
it’s not my fault
if i see the sea across my locks
all these detours
these beautiful adventures
the turning of the world up to your port
where i saw the sea across your locks
its exactly as you wanted
each detour… and i see the sea across my locks
