First published in 2011 as a follow-up to his South Central trilogy, Summertime is a series of portraits of young children and teenagers caught in the midst of activity in distinctly American settings. Made between 1984 and 1991, when kids were able to roam their neighborhoods with less supervision than today, riding bikes without wearing helmets, and hanging out without constant digital interruptions, these black and white photographs capture the light and feel of an endless summer. Beautifully printed in duotone on natural art paper, this new edition of Summertime includes 30 previously unpublished images

About the Publisher
Founded in 1990, Nazraeli Press has published over 600 titles on the fine and applied arts. The press is known for its unorthodox use of common materials – such as papers, wood, plastic, metals – and for introducing elements of handwork into otherwise mass-produced objects. The press’s books have themselves been the subject of exhibitions and books about books.
Formats range from postcard-sized artist’s books to oversized monographs. In addition to traditionally-bound books, the press has published work in scroll format; loose cards in plexiglass boxes; portfolios of original photographs; and, since 2001, a subscription-based series of 16-page artist’s books, called “One Picture Books”, which was relaunched in an upscaled and upgraded format in 2018. Limited to 500 numbered copies, each “One Picture Book” contains a signed, original photograph by the featured artist.
