Here’s a nice bit of press from the folks at Complex Media’s Art & Design Blog, with great commentary from Amelia Davis on the stories behind his images, including a classic Jagger, check it out. And, if you’re lucky enough to be in NYC tonight, go check out the exhibition — the show also features a wall of Jim Marshall album covers shot by him and culled from his personal collection — it is truly fascinating.
Ran into Jim at the Mondrian hotel in West Hollywood in 2001. We were both killing time over a few drinks at the bar. We struck up a conversation and two hours later, we were still talking photography. I was shooting a lot of rappers at the time and Jim was intrigued by an outtake of one of my shoots of Tupac Shakur which was taken in 1993. We did a straight photo trade, Tupac Smoking for Jimi Hendrix in Monterrey June 17, 1967. His Hendrix picture is still the only photograph hanging in my house that I did not shoot! Thanks Jim! Please keep on spreading his work and exposing others to the timing of the master photographer Jim Marshall!
