Chuck Nessa Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Fine photographer. Too bad Johnny didn't agree. Quote
JSngry Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 That might well be the best musician (as opposed to music)-related photograph ever. Definitely one of them. Never knew who took it. Too late now, but hey, thanks! Quote
marcello Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 One of the great ones. Lots of personality in his images: Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Too bad he didn't catch the tongue in the ear. Quote

Quincy Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Rolling Stone has 15 rock photos on their site. "Oh he did that one. And that one too..." Quote
BFrank Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 A good friend of mine knew him pretty well and has about a half dozen signed prints of musicians giving the finger (including the Johnny Cash). Quote
bertrand Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Always found that picture of Miles extremely troubling. Bertrand. Edited March 25, 2010 by bertrand Quote
medjuck Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 A friend of his recently gave me a book of his work. He took many great photos of jazz musicians before he he began photographing rock stars. There's a very nice photo of Gil Evans in the book I've never seen anywhere else but I couldn't find it on his website. Quote
brownie Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Jim Marshall was one of the very best! Some more of his jazz photos (Dolphy, Cohn, Hawkins, Webster)... Quote
Cliff Englewood Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Fine photographer. Too bad Johnny didn't agree. That finger was actually directed at a T.V. crew that were filming the gig. That picture of Ben is really great. :tup Edited March 25, 2010 by Cliff Englewood Quote
Tom 1960 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Sorry to say I'm not familiar with his work except for the classic Cash photo. I'm thinking about getting his book on jazz artists. Is this the one I should look for? Quote
brownie Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 YES! An excellent survey of his jazz photos You can also have a look at his website. Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I like this shot of B.B., Albert and Bobby Bland More from the Times slide show http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2010/03/24/arts/20100325-MARSHALL_index.html Quote
Tom 1960 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 YES! An excellent survey of his jazz photos You can also have a look at his website. Cool! I'll place an order soon. Dan, great photo! That cinched it for me. Quote
BruceH Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I find myself recognizing a lot of his photos, but must admit to being only vaguely aware of the name. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Rolling Stone has 15 rock photos on their site. Thanks for that link, Quincy. Seeing Dr. John with the human head reminds me of Halloween, 1974. One of my roommates was a dental student. For Halloween he brought home a human skull that they used in class. Not a single kid was impressed. I imagine that it never occurred to them that it was real! Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 R.I.P. The man had one hell of an eye for the perfect shot. That Ray Charles photo is gorgeous... Quote
mjzee Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 He loved his Leicas. Everyone says they're just that much more responsive, helping you to get that perfect shot. Quote
marcello Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 In the days of film, Leicas didn't have a light meter built in the camera. You carried a separate light meter. They were not Single Light Reflex cameras that has a reflecting mirror that opened and closed when you took a shot. So, they were both quieter (no noise when the mirror opened and closed), the repsose time from the image you were shooting to the film in the camera was faster, and because they the light didn't have to reflect off the mirror - it went straight to the film when you clicked the shutter button- they were "faster" in low light situations. That is you could get a image in very low light better than a SLR camera. Quote
sheldonm Posted March 27, 2010 Report Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Actually Johnny Cash flipping the bird came after Jim told Johnny "say hello to the warden" or something along those lines. Sorry to say I'm not familiar with his work except for the classic Cash photo. I'm thinking about getting his book on jazz artists. Is this the one I should look for? He signed a copy of this book for me. He was a colorful guy to say the least and had a great eye! Edited March 27, 2010 by sheldonm Quote
