Our last prompt in Portrait Month sees a classic studio shot of a sultry model smoking a cigarette. The photograph dates from the 1960s when I was doing a photography course at the local college. I seem to recall that it was an exercise in both studio lighting and depth of field. Your contributions to the final portrait prompt don't need to be dramatically lit, nor pin-sharp in places: indeed, this being Sepia Saturday, they don't even need to be portraits. Just an old photo and a few new words. Post your posts on or around Saturday 28th October 2023 and add a link to the list below.
After Portrait Month we go out and about - walking on the street. Here are our prompt images for November, so you have chance to think about your submissions in advance.

Heads, hairstyles and shoulders on show is my theme for this final post on the the very enjoyable Portraits theme,
Gail - La Nightingale - I still cannot seem able to comment on your posts. When I click Sign in with Google, it just returns me to the top of your post. But here goes - I always like seeing photos of family groups as I have so few. You have given us a lovely happy account of your family down the decade - with the unmistakeable 1960s looks - loved the hairstyles.

For this last theme of portraits I offer a small collection of young violinists. Thanks for coming up with a new concept to inspire our stories, Alan.
For the last October Portraits post I've collected some portraits/photos from my grandfather's childhood and youth - one of them quite recently discovered.
Just moseying along with a walk at Lake Tomahawk...more current photos and less ancestors!
Monica - I am still having problems signing in with Google. I enjoyed your profile of Gustaf and I can understand your delight in coming across his early photograph. Thereis something so special and exciting in finding a new photograph or a new record on an ancestor.
