“Classic British beach culture. We wait all year for the heat of the sun to appear, race to the beach then immediately build shelter from it. These two sit with their Union Jack overhead, fish and chips in hand, backs sea. This candid British summer photography print isn’t documenting a perfect day; it’s documenting how we actually do summer. The umbrella becoming a small fortress. The flag’s a cheerful irony. The mouth of the estuary retreats with the tide, indifferent to the very human ritual taking place. A seaside location apparently without a sea”
