This is the British seaside, where sunlight gives way to rainy pavements and overcast skies. Here we all are: children and parents, babies and teenagers, people of all ages and from all over, sharing the magic of the coast. We see them in families, in couples and crowds, or isolated and alone under sunlit skies; we see them dozing or daydreaming, caught up in play or watching sky and sea. With The Holiday Pictures, Summerfield tells us our own primal and universal story of the generations at the sea s edge, looking inwardly at their own feelings, and looking out to the horizons and skies.
