Sepia Saturday 770 : Saturday 12 April 2025

 


It's the shoes, isn't it? You can look at some old photographs and know what is going on. Here we have a beach, two rather stylish ladies, and half a man. There's nothing odd about that. The fact that they are probably going out of their way to get skin cancer and lung cancer at the same time, given the historical context, there is nothing all that odd about that either. It's the shoes! What are they doing stood there? Whose are they? You can't beat a picture that gives you more questions than answers. If you have a questioning old photo, a questionable old photo, or any old photo at all you can share it here on Sepia Saturday by posting it and adding a link to the list below.

Take a look at what questions lie around the next bend in the road here on Sepia Saturday.

Sepia Saturday 769 : 5th April 2025

 


What are you stood around for, looking as miserable as sin? A funeral perhaps? The final day of the trial for murder by poisoning of the family matriarch maybe? Surely it can't be a wedding, and if it is it must be a particularly unsuitable wedding. Perhaps grandfather is about to wed a 18 year old chorus girl and the rest of the family sees the family fortune dancing off into the wings. Who knows? And that is one of the delightful aspects of old, found photographs: they are like a single page torn out of a substantial work of fiction. Whatever the start or whatever the end of the story told by your old photographs, we would love to see them. So share an old photograph on or around Saturday 5th April and add a link to the list below. And take a look at the starting points of so many other old stories by glancing at our future Sepia Saturday prompts.
