Hometown' collects a series of suburban landscape photographs taken on Long Island between 1973-1980 by Joseph Szabo. Sharing the same DNA as his 'Teenage' and 'Almost Grown' series, Szabo’s 'Hometown' images conjure up an instant nostalgia, recalling fond memories of Szabo’s childhood and adolescence in suburbia. Szabo explains, “The 'Hometown' scenes reminded me of places I knew from my youth, places that I saw on my way to school, church, or the museum. They struck an emotional chord in me, one that is hard to put into words but that revealed their connection to my own past. In that sense, 'Hometown' is autobiographical.” Building on his past work, 'Hometown' gives context to the suburban lives that Szabo has documented so effectively for almost forty years.

Joseph Szabo is a teacher, photographer and author. He taught photography and art at Malverne High School on Long Island for 27 years and for over 20 years was on the faculty of the International Center of Photography in Manhattan. His 1978 book, Almost Grown, which featured many of his students as his subjects was acclaimed as one of the “Best Books of the Year” by the American Library Association.
