Waterloo Bridge, 1970 For well over a decade, Sepia Saturday has been a place where lovers of old photographs can share their images. For the last six months, the theme images have been taken from an alphabetical sampling of on-line photographic archives.

Matching Moods On Sepia Saturday
I have been participating in the Sepia Saturday project for the best part of ten years and matching themes for most of that time. I have featured pictures of bridges to match bridges and pictures of my granny in a hat to coincide with hat week. After getting on for 600 weeks, however, I now … Continue reading Matching Moods On Sepia Saturday
On The Sands (A Sepia Saturday Post)
On The Sands (c1946) A holiday snap taken just after the close of World War II, probably about 1946. It shows my mother, Gladys Burnett, along with my brother, Roger.

The Summer Of ’68
Our Sepia Saturday theme image this week could be made to measure for the two photos I am going to share. Although I chose the theme image, its connection to two old photographs I took some 52 years ago didn't occur to me until the other day when I was trawling through my collection of … Continue reading The Summer Of ’68
You Can See What I Mean

It may be something about the  shape of the lips, quite … Continue reading You Can See What I Mean

The prompt photograph dates from the early years of the twentieth century, and my little photograph is of a similar … Continue reading Young Girl With A Basket
Posing On A Beach

The young man in question is my brother, the artist and sculptor, Roger Burnett. The date must have been sometime I'm the mid to late 1940s, … Continue reading Posing On A Beach
Sepia Saturday 458 : Albert Einstein Goes To Cannes
Our Sepia Saturday theme image this week features a 1910 photograph of a wine merchant's shop in France. I have to admit, there was a temptation to follow an alcoholic theme, but this is the morning after the night before at the pub, so I will stay clear of all alcoholic references and go to … Continue reading Sepia Saturday 458 : Albert Einstein Goes To Cannes
A Trip Through The Stratosphere To Southend (Sepia Saturday 452)
The Sepia Saturday theme this week focuses on means of transport and has a photograph from the 1950s that seems to look back to an earlier age. My submission is a photograph from the 1930s that looks to the future.
