Soooo… I’m looking for challenges or prompts to inspire me.
You understand, right? I want to post on a regular basis, but the question is what to post!
Dawn, a blogger that I follow, posted a photo that she called Triptych Crop. Her photo reminded me of a photo I have on my desk (someday I’ll post a picture of it) that is from Varde, Denmark, circa 1900. It’s the kind of photo that pulls you in. I followed Dawn’s rabbit trail which led me to a photography challenge called Unusual Crop.
Well, after looking at 60+ year old photos of my brothers playing chess, I went back to that album and cropped photos of each of my siblings (and me) from that same time period. I don’t know if the crops are unusual, but here’s what’s left of the photos I cropped:
How did I do?





absolutely perfect 👌
Thanks Willow!
The baseball shot is a prize-winner!!!
Nicely done! And I bet you captured their personalities perfectly!!
If you want a poetry challenge, my last scavenger hunt is https://murisopsis.wordpress.com/2025/09/29/looking-to-slide-into-seasonal-change/ and my next one will be in April for NPM….
Ooh — yes!! Will do!!
🤗😍🤗
Sally, I think your images presented some very appealing crops. The kid with with the baseball is a great shot, especially.
These are great!
I love their vintage style.
Old photos are treasures, well done. I really think the one of Peter fits the bill perfectly. Thanks for joining.
I love how you used these vintage photos for the challenge! The one of Peter with the baseball is my favorite!
Love old photos and even more that you linked them to this challenge. Your’s is my favourite, that is a little gem 🙂
