Sepia Saturday 832 : 27 June 2026

“Fresh air is the best medicine” is the kind of banal pronouncement ancient relatives would make before pushing peaky-looking children out into the freezing cold of a damp November morning. In the case of this week’s Sepia Saturday theme image, it is some poor invalid who is being wheeled out into what is, hopefully, sunshine. What we would like you to do is wheel out your old photographs for this week’s Sepia Saturday challenge on or around Saturday, 27 June 2026. You can follow any theme you can find in the theme image - or you can follow whatever theme you choose. Once you have an old photo, place a link on the list below. While you do that, I’ll look out some theme images for July.

Sepia Saturday 831 : Saturday 20th June 2026

 

It's celebration time here on Sepia Saturday. I'm not quite sure what we are celebrating but the flags are out and the bunting lines the streets. What do we do when we celebrate - we get our cameras out and take pictures of the events. It is those pictures - taken any time over the last 150 years - that we are celebrating here on Sepia Saturday this week. Simply post your posts on or around Saturday 20th June 2026 and add a link to the list below .... and join in the celebration of the history of photography of, and by, the people.

Sepia Saturday 830 : Saturday 13 June 2026

 

A little lad and a big buoy. Our Sepia Saturday theme image this week features a little lad (my big brother, Roger, in fact) and a lifebuoy at the seaside in New Brighton at the beginning of the 1950s. As always, you can follow the theme in any way you want - or completely ignore it. All we ask for is an old photograph shared between lovers of old photographs. When you find one you want to share, post it, link it, and wait for others to like it. Post your posts on or around Saturday 13th June 2026. And, oh boy, take a look at what is still to come on Sepia Saturday in June.

Sepia Saturday 829 : 6th June 2026

There is nothing worse than a break-down. Our theme image this week shows a motor-bike being repaired back in the 1930s and this can give rise to all manner of potential themes. It is late going up on the Sepia Saturday Blog because I was trying for ever to get the blog to update. I am left with a late post and a perplexed look on my face - just like the bike repairer! In the hope that the blog is now roadworthy please post your posts on or around Saturday 6th June 2026 and leave a link below.

Sepia Saturday 827 : Saturday 23 May 2026

 

When we see factories full of noisy machinery and workers stacked up like fleshy robots these days we tend to think of third world manufacturers of cheap imported goods, but such condition used to be common in all industrial countries. Leaving aside the discussion about whether their absence from the western world is a good or a bad thing, let us limit ourselves to picturing such conditions. For Sepia Saturday 827 - post your posts on or around Saturday 23rd May 2026 - we ask you to search out your old photographs of factories, workplaces, shoes, boots, benches, leather belts .... or whatever. Once you've chosen your image simply post it and link it. Then take a look at what lies ahead on Sepia Saturday.
