"Summer" - The fine art photography of Ricardo Gutierrez (private blog)

Sun and shadow, sea, sand, dreams . . . motion and rest. A nap on the beach.

Summertime. The oppressive heat and the promise of deep relaxation.

This short selection from the gorgeous black and white art of Ricardo Gutierrez captures the

languid pace of the long days of this season that, for many, can’t end fast enough - 

until it’s over, at which point they can often be found mourning its departure.

It is, indeed, a season of stark contrasts, as Gutierrez captures so beautifully in the 17 photos below.

Please excuse the sloppy screen grabs. Better images will be forthcoming.
