Sepia Saturday 784 : Saturday 19th July 2025

 

Lovers of old photographs often suffer from a severe occupational hazard - an obsession with cataloguing. I have to confess that I am totally addicted to endless experiments with catalogues, filing systems, and indexing experiments. As soon as I look at one of my old photographs my mind immediately goes in search of a subject grouping, closely followed by a detailed inspection in order to identify potential key words. Most of my filing systems last a week or two, after which they are replaced by a new, better, improved approach. I could have been a great photographer/blogger/writer/philosopher/friend or whatever if it hadn't been for my addiction to cataloguing. This week on Sepia Saturday we celebrate our photographic filing systems and catalogues. All you need to do is to share an old photograph on or around Saturday 19th July and add a link to the list below. And so that you can see what is around the corner I have just done a search in my filing system for "Sepia Saturday" and come up with the following results!

Sepia Saturday 783 : 12 July 2025

 

Ella Jane and her cousin have a Coke in a Soda Fountain before they go to the movies - what scene could be more redolent of the 1950s than that? That is the beauty of old photographs - they are time machines that can transport us through time more efficiently than any H G Wellsian time mechanical contraption. Sepia Saturday provides you with an opportunity to fly your Time Machine and share the view with other enthusiasts. Just post your old photographs on or around Saturday 12th July 2025 and add a link to the list below. And, whilst you are up there in your flying Time Machine, have a look down to see what is in store for the rest of July on Sepia Saturday.

Sepia Saturday 782 : 5 July 2025

 

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.
