By 1960, Ekman was making a transition from commercial illustration and pin-up art to portraiture. The rest of his career was devoted to gallery works and portraits.

Charles Cushman's Chicago
These photos were taken over a number of years of Mr. Cushman's many trips to Chicago. These photos aren't so much of the building and streets of Chicago, but are of the people (mainly girls) in the parks on the beaches of Lake Michigan. Clicking on the images will take you back to my flickstream with a full description.
Some information on Charles Cushman from the UI website:
Charles W. Cushman, who graduated from Indiana University in 1917, bequeathed to the university some of his photographic equipment, his notebooks, and his entire collection of photographs, shot between 1917 and 1969. Upon Mr. Cushman's death in 1972, most of his photographs were sent to the University Archives and placed in storage. Mr. Cushman's widow, Elizabeth, donated to the University in 1989 additional photographic equipment and some photographs shot in the late 1960s. The Indiana University Foundation gave them to the School of Journalism, where they remained until fall 1999, when they were reunited with the rest of the collection at the University Archives.

May All Your Days Be Circus Days, or: How I Started Worrying and Learned to Fear The Clown
I have no idea why I am doing this. I am sure it's going to lead to nightmares for most of you. I am not generally afraid of clowns but some of these make me question if the devil does exist. I was going to type the details of every photo but decided that it broke up the horror. Instead, all images link back to their flickr source.
Now, with out further ado, a bunch of pictures of clowns:
