Sepia Saturday 795 - 4th October 2025

 

We are going places at speed this week on Sepia Saturday. The speed, however, might just be dependent on how fast the little legs of the chap behind the driving wheel can. push along. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how fast you go, it is getting to your destination that matters. So, as Sepia Saturday motors towards its 800th week, why not join us by sharing an old photograph on or around Saturday the 4th October 2025, and then leave a link below. Where else might we be going in October - why not take a look:-

Sepia Saturday 794 : 27 September 2025

I decided that for October we should have a general theme of "Going Places" but looking at my choice of theme image for this week - the last Sepia Saturday in September - it looks as though we have already started on our journey. Of course, you don't have to be going places - perhaps you are just sat in a boat going up and down on the waves and feeling slightly sea-sick. Equally, you don't have to stick to the theme - this is Sepia Saturday where anything goes as long as it is old and photographic. Whatever your contribution might be, contribute it on or around Saturday 27th September 2025 and add a link to the list below. And then take a look at the places we are going to in October.

 

Sepia Saturday 793 : 20th September 2025

 

It's a team game, one where we all pull together, one where we share our favourite old photographs with fellow enthusiasts. That's Sepia Saturday - and that is also our theme for this week.  as this is Sepia Saturday, however, it is not like most other games. There are no rules. You can therefore either follow our theme image or completely ignore it. It's up to you. All we ask is that you share an old photograph on or around Saturday the 20th September 2025 and add a link to the list below. And during half time, you might want to look at the forthcoming fixtures here on Sepia Saturday.

Sepia Saturday 792 : 13th September 2025

 

That's what we like to see, a bit of good housekeeping! We may be in the middle of a field, it may be pouring it down with rain, there may be ants running up and down your pants, but let's keep those plates clean. We also like to see your old photographs, whether they are in line with any theme you may spot in the above photograph or not. Just post your posts on or around Saturday 13th September 2025 and add a link to the list below. And then take a look at what is to come here on Sepia Saturday.

Sepia Saturday 791 : Saturday 6th September 2025

 

Life isn't always a picnic on the beach - but when it is, let's take a photograph of it. Our theme image this week features a group having fun with a picnic on the beach. The date could be the 1930s or it could be the 1950s; it really doesn't matter. It's an old photograph being shared with the world, and that is what Sepia Saturday is all about. Share your old photographs on or around Saturday 6th September 2025 by posting a post and adding a link to the list below. And then have another pork pie, another glass of lemonade ... and take a look at what comes next here on Sepia Saturday.

Sepia Saturday 790 : Saturday 30 August 2025

 

Travel has always been a central theme in photography. Ever since the days of the first Box Brownies, we have got our cameras out at weddings and when we go on holiday. Our theme image this week features a couple of motorcyclists from 90 years ago, with their motorbikes and set against a faded seaside scene. The lady is my mother, the gentleman was a family friend - and the chap with the camera would have been my father. They were travelling - in this case to the village of Blue Anchor in Somerset. You can go where you like for Sepia Saturday 790 - the destination is yours to choose. All you need to do is to post us a link to your old photographs on or around Saturday the 30th August 2025. And when you have done that, take a look at our September programme of theme images in order to decide where you will travel to next.

Sepia Saturday 789 : 23 August 2025

 

There was a period at the beginning of the twentieth century when family photography moved out of the confines of the studio and into the open air. This was the age of amateur photography: cameras and film had developed to such an extent that ordinary people - enthusiasts, at least, could afford to buy cameras and start taking photographs. Cameras and films had not progressed far enough, however, to enable such photographs to be taken without a plentiful supply of natural light - and so garden photographs suddenly became popular. This week on Sepia Saturday you can share your photographs taken in the garden, of the garden, outside the garden .... or nowhere near the garden. Simply share an old photograph on or around Saturday 23 August 2025 and add a link to the list below. And then you can pop out into the garden and see what is coming in the next few weeks on Sepia Saturday.
