Oh my gosh. This has to be one of the best photo effects I've seen on Flickr. This photograph by artsy_T is aptly titled "Vroom" and features an old man with a walker who appears to be moving so fast, he redefines "speed walking."
This is an awesome image, but if I were to rename it, I'd called it "Senior Superman!"
You have to wonder if this old guy knew he was being photographed at the time; even if he did, he probably doesn't know that his photo has the potential to reach viral status on the web!
