RIP Jim Marshall

I will always remember the iconic images of Jimi and Janis, the shots of the Beatles and Jim Morrison, and many more. I'll also remember when I found out that all these incredible images were made by the same photographer. That was Jim Marshall. "THE rock & roll photographer," acording to Annie Leibovitz. If you get a chance, check out his book, "Jim Marshall: Proof." It shows contact sheets from some of his most famous shoots, complete with his grease pencil notes. It's as much a glimpse into the editing process as it is a look at outtakes from the famous sessions. His work will live forever.
