Sepia Saturday: 500 weeks

Congratulations to the Sepia Saturday team for 500 weeks, launched 10 years ago. I only contributed for several of those years but I really enjoyed reading the blogs of other contributors and the humour of Alan who holds it all together. A medal for consistency is in order.

I continue to scan my old family snaps and buy old snapshots online - the latest purchased package of about 300 photos arrived the other day - because I think it's vital that the cultural heritage in snapshots is preserved.

Found photo: Lady in her back yard. NSW, Australia.

This photo is one from a purchased bundle. I've always been particularly interested in photos that show people at work and this lady appears to be boiling water, maybe for her weekly washing day. I look at her yard and think that my life is so easy compared with hers. Everything has been made by hand, making do with materials to hand. In the context of other photos in the bundle I think she is living in New South Wales, Australia. Her name is not known but she has my respect.

Good luck for the future, Sepia Saturday. Well done.
