Tall glasses of lemonade, your legs sticking to the seat of your car, the days stretching languorously into the evening. What’s not to love about summer?
You know you look good in black and white. And you’ve been wanting to toss nose candy like confetti since you were knee-high to a grasshopper. Why not indulge yourself a little?
You hardly ever get to pillage, your roomates hate it when you sing sea chanties and you don’t know where to find one of those awesome hats with the big feathers in ‘em.

Love the classics? Think "talkies" are overrated? Put the 21st Century behind you and make your pictures look like old movie stills.
