Sepia Saturday 111 : 4 February 2012


Our theme this week was picked by a couple of our regular contributors : ROB FROM AMERSFOORT over at ROBS WEBSTEK and BOB SCOTNEY at BOB'S HOME FOR WRITING. The theme is not men with silly beards (although you can always go with that one if you want - we are libertarians over here on Sepia Saturday), but DOGS. So we are asking for pictures of dogs, pictures of people with dogs, pictures of people who look like dogs. pictures taken by dogs - or what have you. My featured archive image comes from the collection of the National Media Museum (available via Flickr Commons) and dates from around 1900. Taken by the Gloucester photographer, P Davey, it is entitled, appropriately enough,  "A Man With Dog"

You don't have to follow the theme : all we ask is that whatever you post is old and interesting. Post your posts on or around Saturday the 4th February 2012 and once posted add a link to the Linky List below. Leave a comment so we know you are in and try and get around as many other posts as possible. Simple really : like a walk in the park. With a dog, of course.

    Thanks! And what a nice picture. I'm not sure who is funnier, the man or the dog :-)

    It's a pleasure Rob.
    And a quick apology to everyone else - I was away over the weekend and I didn't get much chance to visit the participating blogs. My apologies - I will be better this week.

    As we say here:
    You snooze, you lose!!
    :D~

    Please define old.

    It wouldn't be sepia,
    but I do have a story to tell...

    Aha! I have a whole folder of images marked 'dogs', so this is going to be interesting, picking one! Please may I also draw people's attention to the fact that Ladies in Monochrome has moved to a completely different site? (Alan, sorry to be a pain, any chance you could update the link on the side?)It's all very swanky and new now! The new link is www.ladiesinmonochrome.co.uk

    Thanks!

    Dogs are one of my absolutely favorite topics. In a bit of a rush this week due to work commitments and guests coming in this weekend but I threw together my entry. I had too many to pick from and had a hard time choosing &it was hard to narrow it down to the pictures I ended up choosing. Arf arf!

    This is a great theme! I had three dog photos and added in some other stuff too. I haven't been feeling well and still need to visit some from last week too.

    Take care, everybody.

    My problem is I have so much about dogs it's difficult knowing where to stop and what to leave out.

    It's ready, but I like to keep things tidy. It will appear as a true "Sepia Saturday". Let's just say it has nothing to do with Montreal, for a change...

    Alan, after reading Rob's post, I was thinking it would be nice to have a Sepia Saturday Facebook page if enough people are interested. What do you think?

    I don't know which I'm more fascinated with by the beard or the dogs eyebrows. The suit looks as though its woven for the great outdoors.

    Man and dog look well suited for each other in this photo. I did manage to find some dog-themed photos this time around.

    Two posts on dogs from me. The first is a musical photo, one of my favorites, that I posted 2 years ago, but it deserves more SS viewers.

    The second is non-musical but very canine.

    Thanks for Sepia Saturday. I just found this site yesterday and loved the whole concept immediately. I'm a big fan of old photos and crazy about dogs, so this week's theme grabbed me like a magnet. Unfortunately, I don't know the stories of the dogs in the old photos I've chosen for this theme, but a click on the label "dogs" will bring up plenty of detailed stories about my personal dogs. There's even a separate blog devoted to my blind dog, Butch.

    Thanks again. What a fun place to play!

    Aha!

    Just got hold of 133 photo scans from my grand-aunt's scrapbook. The photos were taken from 1922 to about 1936, and Teddy, the family dog is among the stars...

    I'm having trouble with my comments being accepted on Blogger with my Wordpress account-seems the word verification doesn't like WP. I'll try to remember to leave comments using my Blogger account.

    On the Blogger help forum it mentions a problem with the new threaded comment software which came out a couple of weeks ago. Seems a lot of folk are having trouble. Hope it's fixed soon and I can comment again as ImagesPast. Jo :-)
