Sepia Saturday 752 : 30th November 2024

 

Our "New Arrivals" month comes to an end with the arrival of a new wagon. For me, it's a bit of a special wagon as it was built by my Great Uncle Albert, but I accept that it is just another wagon to everybody else. It's the back-story that makes it special, its connection to history, its connection to my history. And that is what makes all our old photographs special; their back-story, their connections, their history. Share your special things here on Sepia Saturday by posting a post on or around Saturday 30th November 2024 and leaving a link on the list below. Before you jump in the cab and start the motor, take a look at what lies ahead for the rest of the year.

Sepia Saturday 751 : 23 November 2024

 

This month on Sepia Saturday it is all about arrivals and our theme image this week features a 1953 photograph of the great explorer and climber, Sir Edmund Hillary, arriving in Amsterdam. You can follow whichever train of thought you want - just let us have your photographic submissions to explore on or around Saturday 23rd November 2024. And before you set out, take a look at what Sepia Saturday has to offer for the rest of the year.

SEPIA SATURDAY 750 : 16 November 2024

 

Our theme this month on Sepia Saturday is "New Arrivals" and right in the middle of the month we have the 750th week of the internet meme that celebrates the very opposite of all things new and allows us to share our love of old photos. It is, however, possible to combine the two, to link new and old. Most collectors of old photographs know the thrill of the arrival of a new batch of old photographs. You can celebrate that, this week, or new discoveries, or new interpretations or - being Sepia Saturday which has battled against rules for 750 weeks now - anything you want as long as it is somehow linked to old photographs. Share your love of the old and the excitement of the new on or around Saturday 16th November 2024 and add a link to the list below. And leaving Sepia Saturday 750 behind us, we march on to Sepia Saturday 1,000 - here is a preview of the next couple of themes.

Sepia Saturday 749 : Saturday 9th November 2024

We are continuing our "new arrivals" theme here on Sepia Saturday and this week we are featuring new arrivals of the animal kind. You can share your old photos of new arrivals on Sepia Saturday by posting them and linking them to the list below - on or around Saturday 9th November 2024. Next week (16th November) our Sepia Saturday new arrivals theme will continue but please note - THIS WILL BE THE 750th SEPIA SATURDAY!! Old friends and new might want to think about celebrating this milestone in a special way, perhaps reflecting on those special occasions when we get a new arrival of old photographs. Whatever the subject, be sure to join us then for our special celebration.

Sepia Saturday 748 : Saturday 2 November 2024

 

It's November on Sepia Saturday and our monthly theme is "New Arrivals". It is the most obvious interpretation for this theme that provides us with our prompt this week - babies. The arrival of a new baby in the family has been an occasion to bring out the camera for as long as people have been taking photographs. So give us your new arrivals on or around Saturday 2nd November 2024 and leave a link on the list below.
