Book: Jim Marshall... Proof

I ran across a book in the local Barnes and Noble today. It is, JIM

MARSHALL PROOF. This book would be of interest to anyone that knows

Marshall?s work, but it has a twist over the usual photo books, which

only show the cream of the crop. Each photo is presented as a stand-

alone image, but on the facing page is the proof sheet in which that

image was chosen as <B>the one</B> out of the rest. This makes for

an interesting lesson on how Marshall works the scene. It is also is

interesting how many of the non-keepers are pretty damn good. Also

unusual are the 6X6 proofs. I thought he shot all 35mm, but not

always apparently.<P>

Anyone with as much gray hair as I have that likes the rock era from

the 1960s into the 1970s will enjoy this book. There are also photos

that would not normally be associated with Marshall, people not in

the rock world, such as Cesar Chavez, but all with that same Marshall

look. The book costs 40 Dollars in hard cover.<P>

Just to stay on topic for this forum, in the first pages, there is a

shot of Marshall?s gear laid out next to his Domke bag. Lots of Ms

and an R.
