Summer Time Writings
Ah, end of school and the living is easy, especially if you're a kid in the 1950s and 1960s and there are plenty of other baby boomer kids in the neighborhood. There was always something to do and trouble to get into until the streetlights came on and it was time to go in. Here, enjoy a glimpse at those long-ago summers as recalled by author Anthony Buccino.

ABOUT Anthony Buccino
Nutley, NJ, author Anthony Buccino's stories of the 1960s, transit coverage and other writings earned four Society of Professional Journalists Excellence in Journalism awards.

His decades long career in writing and editing included a 12-year stint with Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal.
Artist's Statement
Buccino began his photography journey by shooting film for the stories he produced while working for local newspapers. As such, each of his photographs aims to tell a story, powerfully highlighting unique everyday subjects through different points of perspective. Buccino’s eye for capturing scenes with differing shapes and overlapping patterns establishes a sense of rhythm within his works that encourages viewers' eyes to traverse throughout the image.
Buccino says, "Photography challenges me to stop and see the world, and to try to capture what I see so you can see it, too. Sometimes I set out to shoot something specific. Other times I am called to a scene that says, 'shoot ME!'
"My journalism background -- shooting photos for my stories -- continues to influence my view of the world and the world I see through the camera lens."
Buccino's photo collections include Harrison Next, Gas Stations, In Our Old Kitchen, Old Spices, New Orleans in Plain View, Jersey City Snapshots, Nutley Snapshots in Plain View, and New York City Snapshots in Plain View.
