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!

I admit to not being as adept at cataloging as you are, and even my posts go all over the place. But I start out with a simple photo, then get tugged into different directions. Who knows what a post ends up having in it!
A different focusf rom me to the catalogue theme - so look at tales of hands on faces and windy weather - plus a beany hat.
I decided to base my post on the havoc wind can create.
