This month, longtime professional photojournalist Bob Pearson will share highlights from a remarkable career in news photography. Drawing from his extensive photo archives, Bob will tell behind-the-scenes stories from decades of covering major events and everyday moments that defined the news of their time.

Over the course of his career, Bob worked for three newspapers and two international wire services, traveling throughout the Americas, Europe, and parts of the Middle East. His assignments ranged from breaking news and every major genre of sports to coverage of the U.S. space program during the late 1980s and 1990s.

This presentation will feature images from some of his most memorable assignments and favorite journeys, offering both visual impact and insight into a life spent telling stories with a camera.
