Beyond the badge and public spotlight as the longtime sheriff of Polk County, Grady Judd has also spent years observing the natural world through the lens of his camera. The Sheriff Shoots presents a selection of wildlife photographs that celebrate the beauty and diversity of Florida’s habitats and the creatures that inhabit them. Ranging from intimate animal portraits to more expansive “animalscapes”, these images reveal the richness of Florida’s ecosystems through the eyes of a patient and attentive observer.
