Bud Green nice spread in Pop Photo!

Some of the most amazing work I see is from people I've never heard of. RFf has had the greatest number of people doing great stuff behind the camera, and Bud's work is among the most jaw-dropping. Technical chops to burn, but, far more important, heart. A cup of cheer, and congratulations!

Unfortunately Bud I haven't been able to see your photography in print as I'm on the other side of the water. However I would like to congratulate you on this recognition nonetheless and reiterate my respect for the body of work you consistently add to.

I think many of us here will agree that we make our photographs 'off the cuff' and as and when we can which, certainly for me, leaves my gallery (and therefore my neg folders) much too diverse for any real sense of identity and/or personality to come through with interest still intact. You have understood the 'true' meaning of photography in that it is about the passion you have for your subject, and indeed that there is a subject at all, the technical ability comes secondary to that and serves only to add to the qualities that are passion, understanding and love of subject.

I'm glad to see you back at RFF a little more often these days and I certainly hope that I can see some more of your stunningly tender images. I have seen some recently but not had time to comment, hopefully this weekend I can view the gallery in more depth.

If anybody is able to scan and post the article for those of us who can't see it I for one would be grateful *UNLESS OF COURSE THIS BREAKS ANY COPYRIGHT LAWS* ...which it probably would!!

Congratulations again Bud.
 
Congratulations Bud. Your work is truly impressive. The lights and shadows of your pics are incredible. Very inspirative.
 
I'm off to check out the magazine. I first saw Bud's posts here on RFF when I was wet behind the ears with my C-four.

Then I sort of went wild on flickr for years (plural, time flies!) and added him as a contact along the way.

I love the way his style never changes. That's the key to being great I think. You see a photo and you can tell if it's a Bud Green photo. While I employ a widely shotgun approach to bad photography, Bud is a focused guy!

The way he makes Tri-X and whatever developer he choses to behave like he does is amazing to me. That and his ablity to see the dark/light relationship in a composition required to make good b&w photos is something most of us can learn from.

Cool beans!

I agree with so much of what has been written in praise of your photographic efforts, Bud. The subtle interplay of whites and darks seems to be yours to depict at will; I am happy for you and I honour your efforts. Some of your work with your sons is sublime. I often wonder which ratios of rodinal and D76 you use; it looks to me as if you use d76 1:1 and rodinal 50:1, but I wonder if you play with your developers? Respectfully, Thomas
