Just back from my week away and I am feeling a little odd. It has nothing to do with the food (which was quite splendid) nor the drink (which was pleasantly plentiful), I just feel like something a little odd. Take this photograph entitled "Boy with Birds, Goshen, Oregon" (from the Oregon State University Collection on Flickr Commons) - you have to admit that it is a bit odd. But we all have odd photographs in our collections and this week is there special week. Just find an odd photograph, put together an odd post, and post it on or about Saturday 20 April 2013. Then just add your link to the list below and join together with all the other odd Sepians from throughout the world.
But before we all go in search of the odd this and that, let us take our usual look ahead and the next two Sepia Saturdays. Here is a quick preview :
174 : There are a number of easy theme possibilities here - newspapers, people sitting down - but those Sepians who like a challenge might like to get behind the headlines.
175 : I know we frown upon smoking now, but earlier generations were frequently photographed with a cigarette in their hands or mouths. If you have no smoking ancestors, there is always vending machines, golden flakes and black cats.
But back to the odd now. What strange images are hidden away in the dark corners of your shoebox of photographs. Time to expose them to the light of day. The Day Of The Odd is upon us.
I knew exactly which photos that I wanted to show this week but am very early week as I will be away all weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm early this week also. Hope you enjoy reading recipes.

I'm an early bird too, but had trouble finding any odd photos...but why are these insects doing this?
ReplyDeleteI'm early too. first time in a long time. Daughter and Grandfather holding live chickens.
ReplyDeleteI think these turkeys have hanged long enough now.
ReplyDeleteI suspect there will be a few animals in ungainly poses this week.
ReplyDeleteHorse versus car from me this week. Not hard to guess who wins.
ReplyDeleteIn!
ReplyDeleteWhile I have a few paradoxical photos, I find I have none of a pairoducks. I do however have some shots of swans, which nearly left me with a bloody stump.
ReplyDeleteA few family photos.... I hope you don't see much of a family resemblance!
ReplyDeleteNo chickens but something odd (and musical) from me this weekend.
ReplyDeleteAre those turkeys? Well my post has nothing to do with that. It's more about something that has hit home closely lately.
ReplyDeleteTwo women doing odd things in my photos. A stream, graduation hats, a donkey and a baby all feature. It's a WTH? post for me!
ReplyDeleteIf you want odd, then meet my brother.
ReplyDeleteThe wonderful inspiration image sent me in a totally different direction, so my title for this week is "Just plain odd inspiration brings me to 'legs'."
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Jennifer
Not many young men holding dead birds in my collection, but I do have an oddity to share ... and I'm hoping one of my fellow Sepians can help explain it.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough here I am on Saturday- wait that's not odd- but my post is kind of odd! Enjoy your weekend Alan and friends!
ReplyDeletethis wonderful.photo inspired a funny ditty from me ))
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great time on your holiday. My photo is of a slippery and muddy mess and into about a British Co. Late as usual.
