What his photos capture is a sense of timelessness, emphasised by the use of black and white. In one, a ponytailed girl is glimpsed through the windscreen of an old car: it could be America in the 1930s, not Yorkshire in the 21st century. →

When summer comes, the urban majority like to venture beyond the city limits to see what the countryside has to offer. And the countryside obliges its day visitors and weekenders by putting on a show, with the emphasis on rustic quaintness. →
This photograph was taken on Jan. 31, 1941, during a nigthtime air raid carried out by the Royal Air Force above Brest, France. It gives a graphic impression of what flak and anti-aircraft fire looks like from the air. In the period of three to four seconds during which the shutter remained open, the camera clearly captured the furious gunfire. The fine lines of light show the paths of tracer shells, and the broader lines are those of heavier guns. Factories and other buildings can be seen below. (AP Photo/British Official Air Ministry) #
