Charles Cushman photographs

Friday 28 November 2003
Charles Weever Cushman, amateur photographer and Indiana University alumnus, bequeathed approximately 14,500 Kodachrome color slides to his alma mater. The photographs in this collection bridge a thirty-two year span from 1938 to 1969, during which time he extensively documented the United States as well as other countries.

The university’s digital library program has scanned the pictures and published them on the web. Cushman was a skilled amateur, armed with a Contax rangefinder camera and, it seems, an inclination to record the things around him. Worth a look.

Nice find! I had never heard of him before, but his photographs are rather good. "Worth a look", indeed!
