Inspiration Friday, Charles Cushman, Summertime 1940's

Charles Cushman is quickly becoming one of my favorite photographers. Here are some of my favorite photo's of his from the 1940's. I think they're all so wonderfully quirky! If you'd like to learn more about Charles, go here.








Do any of you have exciting plans for the weekend?

Sweet photos! Did anyone notice the unique scar of the woman in the red and white striped cover up and the blue turban? I wonder where it came from.

These are wonderful! I've seen a few on Tumblr but rarely with credit ;] So it's nice to know who took them.
And, alas, I'm spending the weekend writing assignments.
