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.
