Photoessayist: Photographer Essays by John Krill
Description
Born in Brooklyn, New York but grew up in Burbank, California. Roger Kahn maybe thought the Brooklyn Dodgers were The Boys Summer but the Endless Summers were Southern California in the 1950s.
I was not an athlete or a geek. Didn't have geeks in the 50s. Did have friends and we all roamed freely around Burbank, riding our bikes over Barhum Blvd into Hollywood, hiking the hills above Burbank and trying to sneak into the back lots of the movie studios. And it was fun. Didn't feel the presures that today's teenagers claim to have.
School was school. There wasn't any pressure to excell until the stupid Russians launched Spudnik. From then on it was math and science. Schools weren't ready for it and we just didn't care. That endless summer thing.
