LOUISVILLE, Ky. — He could tell a story without even saying a word. Beloved Louisville photographer Bud Dorsey died at the age of 80 July 8.
Dorsey got his start with the "Louisville Defender," documenting the city's history for 20 years as the newspaper's only full-time photojournalist.
Yvonne Coleman-Bach, the paper's associate publisher and editor, called Dorsey a good friend.
"When talking about him as a photographer or a dad, he was absolutely amazing," Coleman-Bach said. "Bud was able to capture the community, the West Louisville community, like no one could, and I don’t think anyone else will."
