You can sometimes look at old photographs of young people and lose yourself in speculation over what became of them. So many of our old photographs fall into the "unknown" category and these present the greatest opportunity for speculation. Our prompt image this week is one such photograph: I have no idea who these four young men are, but you can look at each of the faces and imagine where life took them in the sixty or seventy years after the photograph was taken. Some look confident about what life might have in store for them, some look more dubious. Photographs have that unique ability to freeze existence, to halt the constant motion picture that is life. What questions do your old pictures ask? Share the questions and even some of the answer by taking part in Sepia Saturday. Post your posts on or around Saturday 18th January 2025 and leave a link on the list below.
And you can see what is next on Sepia Saturday by looking at our next two prompts.
