Sepia World

 

I'm a big fan of Photography...lucky for me most of the work I have done, and even shown, has been since the invent of Digital Photography, some 25+ years ago...I started in the "Film Era" but realized that I just wasn't that good at the art and was pissing good money away for my hobby.  Then along came the Digital Camera and wife bought me a Sony Mavia fd-85...I believe she purchased it for Christmas 1998.

At that time I thought it was the greatest thing since Slice Bread, and used it and it's Floppy Disc Format for a decade, until I realized that the smaller "Point and Shoot" cameras were becoming far and away better...and I used those for another 4 or 5 years, before graduating into a new set of cameras and lens options. I still have the FD85 and a somewhat newer Sony FD91 today, sitting in the basement with other older cameras in my aging collection.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still too damn cheap to spend a fortune on Cameras, Lens, and Equipment, but I do have a serviceable collection of equipment, and although I'm no expert, I have come to realize, you can overcome your lack of "quality" equipment by being a good  photographer.  Great/expensive equipment is like putting lipstick and high fashion dresses on Hillary Clinton,  "Man~Chelle" Obama, or Nancy Pelosi...it's just covering up the ugly, and poor quality.

Anyway the reason I bring this up today is...one of my favorite mediums is Sepia Photography...and in today's Digital World there are several ways to go about shooting Sepia Photos.  The preferred way it to set your Camera on Sepiatone and fire away, the other is to use a cheap program {yes I am cheap}and change your black and white or color, old and new, photos to Sepia...scanning the real old photos of the 1950s and before, is a way as well.

So after all of that stuff, I was trying to get around to showing some of my personal photos from over the years, that I have  turned into Sepia, or shot in Sepiatone to begin with...

Here they are:  Some as old as 1983, scanned off film, others as new as this day...or at least "Sepiafied" today...enjoy..

And I will have more Sepia in the next post {whenever I choose to post} 👀😎
