Considering that there seems to be at least one mandatory argument
(api_key), you could do:

require 'calibre/functor'

functor_factory = lambda { |*symbols|
    Functor.new { |op, *args|
        new_sym = symbols+[op]
        if args.empty?
            functor_factory[*new_sym]
        else
            puts "call:
http://flickr.com/services/rest/?method='#{new_sym}'"
            puts "with parameters:"
            p args 
        end
    }
}
Flickr = functor_factory[]

Flickr.test.echo.momma("api_key" => "something long", "foo" => "bar")
