 IN OUR OLD KITCHEN Photography By Anthony Buccino

This saga began when we ordered new cabinets for our old kitchen. The great shelf purge swept away utensils and whatnots we hadn't seen or used since God knows when. Time to have a bit of fun with our cameras.

FINAL WEEK - SOLO PHOTO EXHIBIT

 Solo Print Photography Exhibit through August 2023

Art @ The Nutley Library is hosting an exhibit of work by 

Anthony Buccino during August at the 


Nutley Public Library, 93 Booth Drive, Nutley, N.J.


July 11, 2023

 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unpublished pictures.


July - August 2023, Nutley Public Library

 

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

 

Book Projects

 

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

released in 2018. This edition includes more than 110 profiles including more than sixty 

women who made a memorable impact on Nutley through their gumption or philanthropy, 

or both. These biographies span the centuries from when Nutley was called Franklin to today.

 

Buccino continues ongoing research on his next local history book, Notorious Nutley 

Notables – Murder, Major Crime, and the Loss of Innocents. True tales of murder, 

attempted murder, kidnapping, and bank robberies from a safe, peaceful New Jersey town

 

Prefer Buccino's words to photos? There are literally hundreds of his essays and stories 

online. (The domain was hacked for 10 months, but we have it back.) You can start 

at Anthony's World and follow the links such as in these threads:
