Sepia Saturday 795 - 4th October 2025
We are going places at speed this week on Sepia Saturday. The speed, however, might just be dependent on how fast the little legs of the chap behind the driving wheel can. push along. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how fast you go, it is getting to your destination that matters. So, as Sepia Saturday motors towards its 800th week, why not join us by sharing an old photograph on or around Saturday the 4th October 2025, and then leave a link below. Where else might we be going in October - why not take a look:-

All we ask is that you share an old photograph on or around Saturday the 20th September 2025 and add a link to the list below. And during half time, you might want to look at the forthcoming fixtures here on Sepia Saturday.

Sepia Saturday 790 : Saturday 30 August 2025
Travel has always been a central theme in photography. Ever since the days of the first Box Brownies, we have got our cameras out at weddings and when we go on holiday. Our theme image this week features a couple of motorcyclists from 90 years ago, with their motorbikes and set against a faded seaside scene. The lady is my mother, the gentleman was a family friend - and the chap with the camera would have been my father. They were travelling - in this case to the village of Blue Anchor in Somerset. You can go where you like for Sepia Saturday 790 - the destination is yours to choose. All you need to do is to post us a link to your old photographs on or around Saturday the 30th August 2025. And when you have done that, take a look at our September programme of theme images in order to decide where you will travel to next.

Sepia Saturday 788 : 16th August 2025
It's the middle of summer (well, it is in the Northern Hemisphere) and here on Sepia Saturday we are paddling in the seas of nostalgia. To protect our bodies from the sun we are hiding in the shade of countless memories, represented by a host of old photographs. Join us by sharing an old photograph or two either on themes (bathing suits, beaches, sand) or off theme (giant vegetables, top hats, or whatever you want) on or around Saturday 16th August 2025 and add a link to the list below.
And whilst the salty waves wash over your sun-tanned toes, take a look at what is around the next corner here on Sepia Saturday (and the one after that and the four after that!)

Sepia Saturday 787 : 9th August 2025
It's a sad state of affairs when you are so old you become a Sepia Saturday prompt. Nevertheless, that is me in the centre of the picture - not the one with the long ears, but the little cute chap taking his first ride on a seaside donkey. I don't look too thrilled at the prospect, and, if truth be told, neither does the donkey. However, like the brave little soldier I was, I posed for the photograph in the knowledge that it would come in useful over three quarters of a century later as a Sepia Saturday prompt. Find in it what you will - cute little chaps, donkeys with big ears, seaside sands ... or whatever. Whatever old photograph of your own it brings to mind, share it on or around Saturday 9th August 2025 and add a link to the list below. And here is a reminder of what is to come for the rest of the month.

Sepia Saturday 786 : 2nd August 2025
It is summer. We are sat on the pier. We have our overcoats on because it is Britain and it is cold. Everything is all right and everything is as it should be .... except the world seems to be tilting to the left. For those who like to look for themes for their Sepia Saturday offerings, there are themes a plenty here - from flat caps to straw baskets. For those who just like sharing old photographs why not get yourself off your seat and share your photos on or around Saturday 2nd August 2025 and add a link to the list below.

Sepia Saturday 785 : 26 July 2025
According to my computer's Artificial Intelligence, "Berries, particularly blueberries, are often cited for their memory-boosting properties due to their high antioxidant content. Other fruits like oranges, strawberries, and grapes are also beneficial for brain health and memory". It6 is just a pity that the same Artificial Intelligence couldn't manage to remind me to put up the Sepia Saturday call this week. My eternal thanks to my friend and fellow Sepian, Barbara Rogers, for reminding me. Perhaps I could find the memory-enhancing fruit I need on this week's Sepia Saturday prompt image: there's oranges, grapes and pineapples there. Even if it doesn't provide you with a good memory, perhaps the image will provide you with a prompt for this week's Sepia Saturday. Post your post on or around Saturday 26th July and then add a link to the list below. And, whilst I remember, here is a preview of the August Sepia Saturday prompts.

Our theme image this week is entitled "Saturday Afternoon Street Scene" or perhaps it should be "Sepia Saturday Afternoon Street Scene"! Of course, it doesn't need to be Saturday nor does it need to be a street scene. Just share any old photograph and tell us a little bit about it on or around Saturday 5th July 2025 and add a link to the list below. And when you have done that, take a look at what is to come here on Sepia Saturday.

Sepia Saturday 781 : 28 June 2025
Sometimes all you need is a name. You can be sorting through a pile of old family photographs, desperately trying to work out if the subject is your Great Uncle Joe or Cousin Mabel's young nephew, when you suddenly find a name pencilled on the reverse of the photograph and all your questions are answered. Of course, it is Harold Elk! And then you suddenly realise that you haven't the slightest idea who on earth Harold Elk is, and you have never come across that name before. And then you are back at square one: sat on one end of a plaster bench, lost and alone. Share your old photographs - whether you know who they are or you don't - here on Sepia Saturday. Just post your post on or around Saturday 28th June 2025 and add a link to the list below.
The prompt photographs for July all come from the collection of the US National Archives on Flickr Commons. Here is a preview of the month ahead.

Sepia Saturday 779 : 14th June 2025
"Man With A Chair" is a familiar caption for all collectors of old photographs. If old photographs are anything to go by, the average man - and indeed woman - of the first part of the twentieth century did little else but stand next to a chair and have their photograph taken. There are reasons, of course, for the use of chairs as props in early photographs: shutter speeds were slow and subjects had to keep still for a long time. So this week get out your men standing, your women standing and even your chairs standing. Whatever is standing, post you post on or around Saturday 14th June 2025 and add a link to the list below. And whilst you are standing about, take a look at what is next on Sepia Saturday.
