SLIM AARONS: Summer's End

Labor Day always signifies that the summer is winding down – the kids start school next week, the last summer vacation is upon us. I’m already sentimental for the summer I dream about each year. So today, I thought I'd post some pictures of what summer looks like from one of our greatest social photographers.

Slim Aarons captured the summer of my mind’s eye better than I could ever express. For some reason, I always expect to be in one of his pictures. This is summer as is should be—as it probably never is, but as I think of it. Rich, technicolor, saturated, and lush. See more in his beautiful books at Amazon.
