Beginning in the 1880s, sepia was produced by adding a pigment, called sepia, made from the Sepia officinalis cuttlefish found in the English channel, to the positive print of a photograph.
from Wikipedia
“Each of us chooses the tone for telling his or her own story. I would like to choose the durable clarity of a platinum print, but nothing in my destiny possesses the luminosity. I live among diffuse shadings, veiled mysteries, uncertainties; the tone of telling my life is closer to that of a portrait in sepia.”
― Isabel Allende, Portrait in Sepia

Sepia is a sweet golden hue that implies age and the golden era of your life

I personally LOVE sepia photos ... there is something so vintage about them. These all have that love feel to them. Beautiful work, Dixie. Am glad to hear that your son is alright.
i love looking at sepia-hued photos, especially the genuine old ones. there is something romantic and dramatic about them. great shots and again, a wonderful family collage.
