“I do see the music. This career has never been just a job, it’s been my life.”
Jim Marshall – rock n’roll photographer – is the author of emblematic images of the history of music. Jimmy Hendrix setting his guitar aflame at stage, Miles Davis sitting in a boxing ring, the boyish Bob Dylan following a stray tire down a New York street, Johnny Cash gesturing with his middle finger, Janin Joplin at home, or The Beatles in them last concert. There are countless moments captured by Marshall that became famous. A man of intense temperament, a life of excess and battling inner demons, who was loved or hated, there was no in-between. “If he loved you, he would lie down in front of a truck for you. If he hated you, he would happily drive the truck over you.”, says Amelia Davis, owner of Jim Marsall Photography LLC.
