Taken in the “forgotten borough” of Staten Island between 1983 and 1984, the photographs in Christine Osinski’s 'Summer Days Staten Island' create a portrait of working class culture in an often overlooked section of New York City. Captured on Osinski’s large format 4 x 5 camera as she wandered the island, her candid portraits of strangers, vernacular architecture, and quotidian scenes reveal an invisible landscape within reach of the thriving metropolis of Manhattan.
