Listen to Dudley Edmonson above!
We talk with artists, photographers, authors and nature enthusiasts frequently on KAXE/KBXE. Today we met Duluth nature photographer Dudley Edmonson.
Dudley's career has spanned nearly 3 decades - he has been featured in galleries and in nearly 100 different publications. You can see his work in Stan Tekiela's Bird: The Definitive Visual Guide published by Audobon. His book "The Black and Brown Faces in America's Wild Places" features 20 other African Americans with deep connections to nature.
Dudley said, "In wilderness the ability to embrace freedom and be your true self is the healing medicine the mind needs."
Last September Grist spotlighted Dudley in their article "Photographing nature while black: One man’s quest to make green spaces less white."
