This week Sepia Saturday is paying tribute to the human face. It can be young or old, male or female, happy or sad : it can be any shape or colour you choose. My selected picture comes from the collection at George Eastman House which is featured on Flickr Commons. It is listed simple as "Woman's Face" and dates from somewhere around 1915. All you need to do is to post your post on or around Saturday the 25th May 2013 and then add a link to the list below. But before you get hypnotised by those eyes staring into your soul, you might want to briefly consider what we have coming up on Sepia Saturday in the weeks ahead. Here is your usual preview.
179 : In the past on Sepia Saturday we have had cute dogs and cuddly cats, but here is a chance to bring out your birds, beasts and reptiles. Or caravans, or ladders, or ....
180 : Our picture features a hospital kitchen on a railway train, thus providing Sepians with a vast menu of theme opportunities.
But now it is time to face up to the challenge of Sepia Saturday 178. Now look into my eyes and relax. Post your posts, post your posts, post your posts .....
Sorry I am late again with getting the post up. I have been hypnotised by those eyes and incapable of doing anything.
ReplyDeleteMy post is published and hopefully won't disappear. I had to rewrite the whole thing because it disappeared just before I published it. The only thing left of the draft was the title! It is about a face painted on a barroom floor.
ReplyDeleteBack on time this week.
ReplyDeleteLot of faces in my post this week. Good luck with matching the parent with their child :)
ReplyDeleteIn this week, and early for a change :-)
ReplyDeletePlenty of close-ups in my contribution this week too.
ReplyDeletewould have liked to do a "match the faces" post after seeing Sharon's but instead did a family photo that reminded me of the face of the prompt.
ReplyDeleteFaces you have seen before, but tweaked a bit.
ReplyDeleteI have several faces to ponder.
ReplyDeleteI am quicker off the mark this week, with four faces of feisty females.
ReplyDeleteJust one photo this week.
ReplyDeleteYet another perfect theme choice, Alan, that lets me tell the story of a similar pretty face.
ReplyDeleteJust one ancestor's pic, but not sure which one!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the inspiration! My post, which will appear tomorrow (Saturday), is entitled 'If only they could speak: Inspiration in Sepia'.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Jennifer
I think I'm on-topic this week!
ReplyDeleteEyes and all!
ReplyDeleteNot so much doing eyes as a memorial to my ather, well there are eyes too. I wwill be up shortly.
ReplyDeleteLate for me, but it's still Friday here, so early? I have some faces out of context to ponder.
ReplyDeleteThose eyes are very mesmerizing. I've got a postcard post this week.
ReplyDeleteAt last back blogging - couldn't resist putting the beautiful face of my great grandmother up
ReplyDeleteThanks for this topic Alan, and I agree the eyes are almost hynotic. My post leapt out of my response to this photo.
ReplyDeleteA triptych of sepia faces from me.
ReplyDeleteA single sepia face...but a lovely one!
ReplyDeleteWasn't sure where I was headed with the prompt.
ReplyDeleteGee whiz, this was an exercise in hard determination to get posted. It's like my third or fourth attempt and a much shorter version as much was lost, just went up in thin smoke or ghostly nothing as I tried to post this week! But if it stays here it is!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful face. I always wonder if people knew what to do back then when a camera was pointed at them. Of course, this is much better than the modern selfie duckface.
ReplyDeleteI'm on jury duty this week and don't have any time. Once I started looking for the photo I wanted to use, everything else faded away and I was driven to get this done. Turned out to be a bit of therapy. Bonus.
