An event that photographer Steve Starr was organizing to mark 45 years in the business will now be a tribute to Starr, who passed away Nov. 12.
On Wed., Dec. 12, “The Face of News”—showcasing Starr’s photos of journalists, broadcasters, reporters, columnists and publishers—will take place at the Murphy Auditorium, 50 E. Erie St., 6-9:30 p.m.
Starr, a fixture on Chicago’s social scene and a man who celebrated old Hollywood, passed away after collapsing outside the Drake Hotel, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Tickets start at $100 each for the event, and people can also make donations; see stevestarr.eventbrite.com.
