The first comprehensive book of the late legendary photographer Bud Lee, spanning his 50 year career.
Born Charles Todd Lee Jr, Bud Lee was a Florida based photojournalist and artist. After joining the Army, Lee began working as a photographer in 1965 for Stars & Stripes newspaper. The following year the Department of Defense and the National Press Photographers Association named him U.S. Military Photographer of the Year. This led to a job as a photojournalist with Life magazine where, during the summer of 1967, Lee captured images of the civil rights movement in Detroit and Newark. In Newark, he captured the image of a bleeding 12-year-old Joe Bass, who had been caught in the crossfire as a police officer shot looter Billy Furr. This image became the cover of Life magazine, July 28, 1967, Lee's first. Bud Lee features a full representation of his work.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Bud Lee lived with the window wide open. He saw splendor in every shape -- ordinary or grand. He relished capturing society's underbelly and was impervious to the chill of judgment it might bring. He approached his art with a childlike naivet to social conventions and turned his back to commercialism. As a result his images are honest and true, refreshing even when his subjects were bleak. His skills let you see the world as he did -- complex, beautiful and endlessly fascinating. - Lynn Waddell, Creative Loafing
