Solo Print Photography Exhibit, July-August 2023
Art @ The Nutley Library is hosting an exhibit by Anthony Buccino during
July and August at the Nutley Public Library, 93 Booth Drive, Nutley, N.J.
Meet-the-artist reception will be held at the library from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on
Saturday, August 12, 2023. Plenty of free parking in Nutley High School lot.
Hometown photographer Anthony Buccino has published eight photo collection
books including Nutley Snapshots in Plain View, New Orleans in Plain View, New
York City Snapshots in Plain View, and Jersey City Snapshots, and Harrison Next.
While those five collections focus on city and streetscapes, Buccino took a closer
look at often overlooked subjects such as gas stations, household spices, and things
in the kitchen cabinet.
His print photo exhibit at the Nutley Public Library, July to August 2023, will
include an assortment of themes both from his collections and other
unpublished pictures.
Buccino caught the photography bug on film in 2000 while working at the Jersey City shoreline
on the Hudson River. Most days would find him on his lunch hour with his Olympus OM-1
shooting not only the NYC skyline across the river, but also the blossoming new skyscrapers
rising all over the reclaimed city.
He took the switch to digital in stride, starting with the most basic and working up to his current
collection of Canon cameras. Buccino amassed thousands of digital images and has a multitude
of external hard drives to save and sort them.
Camera-laden Buccino was invited to join the Essex Photo Club while shooting at the
Mountsier Hardie gardens in Nutley. Over the years his photos have won awards and he
says his work has improved based on competition judges’ comments on his and other photos.
Born in Belleville, the Nutley resident spent 12 years editing business news copy at Dow
Jones & Co. and The Wall Street Journal professional web pages. Some of his Wall Street
photos accompanied news stories published by Dow Jones Newswires in Germany.
Buccino says he began his semi-professional photography career when he was editor of
The Belleville Times in 1990. In those days, if he wanted a photo to go along with his article,
he had to shoot it himself. He says his learning curve rose sharply in that year.
He has written in online publications about life and growing up in northern New Jersey.
For five years he wrote about commuting and transit in metro New York-New Jersey.
Lately, he spends time improving his camera eye and researching his next Nutley book.
NEW IN PRINT:
HARRISON NEXT Photography by Anthony Buccino
HARRISON NEXT is dedicated to the hardworking men and women who once toiled
at the many long-gone factories in this roughly mile-square city that once virtually had
a bar on every corner. And to the men, women, and children who call this city home,
whether in the multi-family homes on one-way streets, or in the new booming condos
that arrived with the new PATH commuter station. Think of HARRISON NEXT as a
time capsule of the mid-revival of Harrison, New Jersey.
OLD SPICES Photography By Anthony Buccino
Where would our taste buds be without the subtle touch of the perfect pinch of spice
in the perfect amount on our favorite food? Here's to everyone whoever added a touch
of this, a pinch of that, and a smidgen of this! Photos, like spices, can be an acquired taste.
GAS STATIONS Photography By Anthony Buccino
You won’t need to take a spaceship to Ashtabula to catch a glimpse of GAS STATIONS:
Photography by Anthony Buccino. It's as simple as browsing through this oversize book
of gas pumps, service stations, and a few odds and ends. Why photos of gas stations?
Well, why not? Check it out.
IN OUR OLD KITCHEN Photography By Anthony Buccino
This saga began in August when we ordered new cabinets for our old kitchen renovation.
The great shelf purge swept away utensils and whatnots we hadn't seen or used since God
knows when. Time to donate them to the needy right after we have a bit of fun with our cameras.
Anthony Buccino has 1,000s of photos on his Facebook page. More Buccino on Photography

Nutley Notables Volume Two is Buccino’s second book in the Nutley Notables series was
