Get a group of people together - especially if it is a group of children - and there is an irresistible desire to take a photograph of them. That has been true ever since photography escaped the clinical confines of the Victorian studio - and it is still true in the age of the cell-phone camera. Our theme image this week - which comes from my own collection and features a group of unknown children from, I suspect, the 1920s - is typical of the genre: wide eyed children looking expectantly at the camera. For Sepia Saturday 502 we invite you to feature your group photographs - or any old photos from your collection that connect in one way or another with the theme image. Post your post on or around Saturday 11th January 2020 and add a link to the list below.
And here is a reminder of the next two Sepia Saturday theme images.
I'd been working on this post for some time and luckily it was a good match for the group school photo prompt.
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather and his classmates don't look quite so cheerful as the children in the prompt photo
ReplyDeleteThree school photographs from what was called "Victory Year" (1919). Raw future on parade.
ReplyDeleteFound some old children's photos (of my children and grandchildren) that were being stored in a bin under a bed (not mine.)
ReplyDeleteI can do children, but only in twos and threes. So it's seven altogether which I think makes a bunch of kids. Sadly no hats. But definitely musical.
ReplyDeleteLittle girls in little hats. Couldn't pass it up. A handsome little fellow, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe group photo - a grouping of groups
ReplyDeleteMy group is New York Union Army veterans in the Grand Army of the Republic, with photos of the latest findings on my gg grandfather Arthur T. Bull.
ReplyDeleteMy group is at a picnic, an eclectic bunch, taken in 1939. A group photo of children dressed up, and another with children down by the river for a day of swimming and fun.
