Sepia Saturday - Advance to the Rear!


For this Sepia Saturday Suggestion we have a snap of the reverse side of some people walking away.

LOST GALLERY has a category that fits this prompt pretty close! It's called
ADVANCE TO THE REAR!


Occasionally LOST GALLERY finds a picture of someone's back.

The photograph of the child at the right is easy to understand: the child got bored with the photo session and turned to leave. But not all photographs of a subject's back are that easy to explain.

See how many you can provide an answer for the question: What is going on here?

What is it about someone sleeping on their stomach, on the sand, in the sun that inspires a photographer?

THE KIDS Lesson one.
It is always a mystery how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.

    Love the little chap with the hat and his nonchalant pose.

    What an amusing take on the prompt, as always. For some reason I like back and towel...maybe because it is so natural.

      Thanks Alex Daw. I had a choice of quite a few. I did a page of these some time ago.

    I especially like the one with the photographers shadow below the man in trunks. It would have been even better if the man had been more centered on the tree with the branches sprouting from his head.

      Thanks Postcardy. Yes, that is an odd one. You've given me an idea. I think I will see if I can find a few of those photographs where the subject is in an awkward position related to something else in the picture.
