Summertime

Summertime-1-Design-Crush

 

What is it about summer? Maybe it’s the longer days or childhood memories, or maybe it’s fewer pieces of clothing or more time spent outdoors. No matter what you can’t deny that something about the season just feels freer than the others. Joanne Dugan captures that magic in Summertime, a curated collection of 100 photos and quotes that capture the essence of the title.
