Sepia Saturday - Umbrellas

(Note: This page was originally published 13 July 2013 and has been updated with new examples added.)

For this week the Sepia Saturday Suggestion is this photograph. Hmm.

Yep, it's an umbrella and a rainy day. Well, in this part of the world, those two things are only hazy memories. For the past few years, we have been experiencing the worst drought since records have been kept.

So let's look for the Umbrella's sunny cousin, the Parasol. We'll see how many of those we can find.

To start off with, here is a real umbrella, and in good use.

If any more umbrellas surface in the LOST GALLERY shoe box, we'll include them too.

In the meantime, here is The Parasol.

NEW ADDITIONS

The Parasol.

This gal seems to be really enjoying hers.

This has to be one of the worst tint jobs I have ever seen.

What do you think?

Of course there is still one place you see the parasol still in use: The Beach.

But of course they are often much bigger and are called "Beach Umbrellas" now.

Taking turns with the camera!

Carmadie lived on the edge.

Only a half hour earlier, her luck had changed. She won her watch back in the alley craps game. And then her shoes.

By the time Boswell showed up for their date, she had even won an umbrella and a hat that weren’t originally hers.

Carmadie would remember this alley for a long time.

Okay, pull on the Wellies and deploy the 'brollie and slosh on back to Sepia Saturday and maybe you'll find some really rainy days!

Back Page - The Camera

Here is a collection of rescued photographs that feature a camera somewhere in the frame.

All of these pictures from LOST GALLERY are at LEAST fifty years old. But a couple of them are closer to a century in age. I bet you can spot which ones those are!

NEW ADDITIONS

While the clerk had his back turned, Vernon memorized the questions on the immigration form.

The girl on the left has a camera in her right hand.

Here's one that's REALLY about CAMERAS! It's a CAMERA shop!

This girl really has her hands full.

Do you see it?

We are pretty sure this is a Leica A111 or a C111

The Jodhpur Gang

I think there are two cameras in this photograph.

This guy is holding an Argus C-3, I think.

Watch this space! More rescued photographs about the CAMERA will be added as they are discovered.

There are now more than 8,000 photographs in the Lost Gallery.
