Summer in Staten Island in the 1980s – in pictures


Staten Island in the 1980s was working class and with a small-town feel. Photographer Christine Osinski, now a professor at The Cooper Union School of Art, captures the character of the ‘forgotten borough’ over the summers of 1983 and 1984 after moving there – kids on bikes, suburban homes and empty streets. Her rediscovered pictures are collected in a new book, Summer Days Staten Island, published by Damiani.
