Meet Martin Buday. He tended bar at
my favorite Greeley haunt, and we became fast pals after a few conversations unearthed a great deal of commonality (innate weirdness and quirky taste in movies). He's a marvelous photographer and credits
his love of art and Indiana fried chicken to his grandfather. Marty's eye for desolately alluring scenes is particularly evident in his ongoing
Stay Golden series, which curiously examines and celebrates the man-made environment. Many of the photos were taken in my old stomping grounds, so I revisit the images often to satiate my need for a breath of home.
After his stint in Colorado, he got back to his Pennsylvania roots and moved to Philadelphia earlier this year. You can see more work or pop in to say hoi here.
Stay golden, people.
xxx+o,
Jess
