My first entry for Mundane Monday, and the last for a while as soon I shall take a blogging break…
But here we go, for some more ‘Objets Trouvé’, before they hit the skip. A load of heavy old, scratched, and battered 78s. I used a nostalgic film effect in Nik Color Efex Pro, and added an old looking border to finish the job:
Stack of 78s
And now I need to stop playing, and get some more work done…. not least filling the toy box (the old trunk) so I can keep creating still life images!
You can find more Mundane Monday here.
Shame they have to be thrown away, but we can’t keep everything.
This shot worked very well, Sue. But then, yours usually do.
Best wishes, Pete.
Well, they are very damaged, and I don’t have the facilities for playing 78s…my turntable only plays 45s and 33s (LPs)!!
love the design! and of course, the thought of taking a photo of them in the first place 🙂 great!
Thanks, Debi! 🙂
hi Sue, you’re welcome 🙂
How old are they Sue? They make a great nostalgic photo 🙂
At a guess, 30s and 40s – certainly pre 1950
Perfect effect, Sue
Thanks!
I still have one box of the best of our vinyl collection. Just can’t seem to part with all those Beatles albums. Have a good break. Come mid week I too will be taking a break for our daughter’s wedding. Lots of excitement here as you can imagine. 🙂
Oh, I still have my LPs, but these pre-date me, don’t know whose they were!
Thank you Susan, for joining the challenge 🙂 Colombia and HMV. Nice choice for the challenge. Nostalgic indeed 🙂
Thanks! 😀
You are welcome 🙂
Perfect effect for the image Sue – now I am intrigued to know what the records are.
Some jazz stuff by people I have never heard of, a little bit of Classical, some other obscure stuff….
are they worth anything!!? Love your treatment of these!
All seriously scratched and damaged, I rather think not!
Happy rest of packing Sue and smooth move! I really hope it stays dry for you. A nice way to remember these old delights. I’m thinking I should have photographed some of the great album covers before I parted with my LPs. Oh, well, too late now. xx
I still have my LPs…need to photograph some of those album covers one day!
Oh, and thanks for the good wishes….I’m in kernel panic mode at the moment….
It’s been a long time since I last saw one like these. The photo is excellent.
Have a good break, enjoy it if you can, go offline.
See you soon!
Thanks, Lucile! I may wait until Wednesday to go offline, we shall see!!
You’re welcome, Sue.
I spent July offline and it was wonderful. The only mistake I made was to schedule posts. I found a huge backlog of comments to reply to. Never again!
I wish you a great time!
I have been offline fora week or so before, and definitely no scheduled posts, then or now!
You were and continue being clever!
😀😉
Sue, my post today is about Hipstamatic with links that might help you.
Ah, thanks, I need to read! I’m just thinking it might be fun to try…..
Definitely do try it.
Great burst of pallid pink. Another beautifully constructed still life. The intersecting circles are a bit like a slightly demented Venn diagram.
I’ll very much miss you while you’re gone. How long for? And I wish you so well for the move.
Meg, I just have to ask you, how can a pallid thing burst? That aside, I LOVE the idea of a demented Venn Diagram!! But I can’t take all the credit, I did get the idea from somewhere else (can’t remember where).
Thanks for your good wishes, I’m just slightly having a kernel panic, but my friends are largely keeping me calm(ish). I will be away for, say, a month but might dip in a few times, who knows??
Do I get picky and say you did the bursting? Or did I just get carried away with alliteration?
Point taken!!! 😳😀
I know it is not possible to hang onto everything from the past, but they do bring back some pretty special memories.
Well, I don’t want to hang on to everything! And these actually are not part of my personal past!
Did a lot of sock hops to tunes on a record player … Not that long ago I was talking to my daughter about getting a new stereo and had found one with a record player (for my stacks of LPs sitting under the shelf) and she said, “What are you getting? An antique?” I opted for an Ipod with speakers and dumped the LPs at a garage sale.
Love it! Well, I still use a turntable for my LPs….until the 20 year old turntable gives up! It’s the oldest part of my stereo system now….

Great subject !!
You have a turntable that you can still play stuff on …. awesome! That’s a real treasure. Don’t think you should ever throw it away.
We threw away lots of things like His Masters Voice gramophone, Berkeley filters etc and now would give anything to have them back to show future generations what the world was like :
