Join us at 7 p.m. tonight as we celebrate the career of photographer J.B. Forbes, who is retiring after 45 years.
Columnist Bill McClellan will join Forbes in discussing his work, and you’re invited to watch the free event right here (it will stream at the top of this page).
Forbes started traveling internationally for the Post-Dispatch in 1980 and has been to more than 30 countries covering wars, natural disasters and political strife.
Some of his most rewarding work occurred in Haiti where Forbes made seven trips covering revolution, embargo, medical missions and the massive earthquake of 2010. He has also been to several war zones, including El Salvador, Nicaragua, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Forbes also has covered celebrities, celebrations and major sporting events around St. Louis, including Ozzie Smith’s “Go Crazy” moment and the Blues run to the Stanley Cup championship.
