Happy Birthday JB Forbes!

JB has generously shared hundreds of incredible Big Red photos with us over the past couple of years, helping preserve the memories and history of the St. Louis Football Cardinals.

He recently published a stunning 500-page coffee table book celebrating 50 years of photojournalism through the lens of the longtime St. Louis Post-Dispatch chief photographer.

It’s a remarkable collection of history, memories, and unforgettable moments—and would make a fantastic gift for any sports fan or photography enthusiast!

This is my wonderful daughter, Taylor. She was our first-born, weighing in at 6 pounds, 7 ounces. She is holding my first (and probably only) book. It weighs 6 pounds, 7 ounces. I've been in labor on it for three years. It covers my 50 years in photojournalism. The printers just delivered the finished books to my house. If you would like to buy a copy, please go to my website: https://jbforbesphotography.com/ and order one. Or, if you would like to avoid the shipping cost, you are welcome to come out to our house in Cedar Hill to pick up a copy. I hope to have a book signing event in the future, but it has not yet been scheduled. The book is 504 pages and has 640 pictures. It has approximately 115,000 words that tell the back stories about the pictures. I think it turned out very well. Please like and share.

I'm a retired photojournalist who still loves photography. My interests are varied and I am always expanding my horizons. I love photographing horses and ocean waves. I’ve started this page with some of my horse photos and will add more.

I was at the printers in Kansas City yesterday signing off on the cover for my book. The book is about my 50 years as a photojournalist. It should be available in the next few weeks.

I'm going back through my wild horse photos from a trip to Eminence, Missouri, in 2022. This pregnant mare was drinking in the stream.
