"We printed all the individual images in sepia tone, but we break out one player in each shot in color." ~ Mark Gray

ed GrantThis is a new Idea for me.. I have a blue gazillion Photographs.. I have photo disks that I haven't a clue what might be on them.. They are some sent to me by others and some that I scanned for mama once upon a time.. some like this one.. that I had saved as I used them in scrap~ booking.. for a long time I kept them all on my computer.. than that computer died taking a million of my favorite photo's along with it into the land of fried motherboards and flipped processors... I was devastated to loose so many wonderful pictures.. This one is My Daddy on the boat going down the Mississippi river in July 1965. My Mama's baby brother ~ JC~ Lived in New Orleans and we went there on vacation that year..
I have never really worked with sepia photographs.. I myself really love the old timey Black and White.. My first Camera... a brownie hawk-eye.. made the best pictures in black and white.. I still have that old camera and if I could find the film and a place to develop it.. I would still be trying to look through the veiw finder on top... squaring my subjects away and snapping them in Black and white... I have even seen photo's first printed in sepia then colored with color pencils to add a highlight.. I could color Daddy into purple plaid shorts.. and a lavender shirt.. or olive and navy shorts with a lime green shirt.. Or maybe I will just enjoy seeing him as he was... waving as he enjoyed the scenery... I can almost hear him saying to other boats as they passed.. Howareya?...(yes it is said as one word sometimes!) Happy and smiling.. a great sepia scene!
Have a great day!

Welcome, Patsy, to Sepia Scenes! Glad to have you join us! You can try all sorts of photo-editing using sepia and of course you can post actual original sepia photos. :)
Love the photo!!! ~loves2ride
nice shot :)
What a wonderful look back with you! I remember we had a brownie when I was a little girl. My Mom was the photographer back then.
I'm looking at your photo thinking today that that shoreline is dotted with houses today. :)
As Mary said, welcome to SS!
Mary~ I don't think I own any original sepia photo's.. I love the way they look though.. I may do one of each of my children when they were babies and color on them with colored pencils... I love that technique.. I want them for my guest room..
loves2ride~ Thanks I love and miss my Daddy very much! I still think he would look sharp in purple plaid though..
Marice~ thanks! I have a bunch of the old black and whites.. I have a lot of photo's..
Carletta~ Dave and I collect old camera's so we have a few of the brownies.. I guess my uncle made this picture or maybe my oldest brother.. the rest of us were left on the shore as they went deep sea fishing.. I am sure there have been changes along that shore since 1965... a life time ago!
I really enjoyed looking for pictures to try with the sepia.. I did a few and looked at many more.. I am sure I will be here again! looking at old photo's and remembering.. Have a great night!
