Summer... the Charles W. Cushman way

These photos by the wonderous Charles W. Cushman make me want summertime over here in good ole Blighty to hurry up and arrive properly!! He's a fantastic photographer if you ever get chance to look at some of his pictures do.

  2. Well i dont actually remembe as it was a few years back and think i was just persuing some vintage photos online and came across some of his work and then looked further into it. He has photographed all over the world and his entire archive was posted on the web in 2003 and has spread somewhat since then.

    You can find his work here kitten:
