I had to submit a passport photograph the other day, so out came the smartphone and I quickly composed a head and shoulders selfie, downloaded it in a jpeg file and the job was done. Head and shoulders portraits have been the staple for photographic portraits for the last 180 years - the technology might change, but the head and shoulders remain the same. So for Sepia Saturday 695 - post your post on or around Saturday 21st October 2023 - we are asking for your head and shoulder portraits, or any portraits, or any old photo you care to share. Just add a link to the list below. Next week will be the last of our portrait themes - get ready for Walking About in November. The month's themes will be up soon.
