“Whenever anyone asks me how I got the photographs I did, why I was often the only photographer present or got such unique access I reply simply, ‘Trust’.” – Jim Marshall
Even if you don’t know legendary rock photographer Jim Marshall – you know his photographs. Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire onstage at Monterey, Johnny Cash in Folsom Prison and flipping the bird onstage, Miles Davis boxing at Newman’s Gym, Jim Morrison taking a puff…
Last week while I was in New York I stopped by The Morrison Hotel Gallery and Loft to check out Marshall’s show from his his book ‘Trust’
The Morrison Hotel Gallery
124 Prince Street
New York, New York
October 22-November 13, 2009
If you hurry you might even be able to snag an autographed copy of ‘Trust’ Jim Marshall’s book ‘Trust’ is available on Amazon if for some strange reason you can’t make it to The Morrison Hotel Gallery before they run out.
Every year at PhotoPlus I have dinner with a bunch of photographers including Jim at Cafe Loup. I’ve always like Jim and dinner with Jim is always entertaining .Be sure to check out Jim’s website Marshall Photo.

If you’re going to be in New York for the PhotoPlus Expo, be sure to catch the Sony Artisans of Imagery Exhibit showcasing personal projects by the Sony Artisans of Imagery alongside a show of the Sony World Photography Awards Global Tour 2009/10 at the Aperture Gallery in New York from October 22 through October 30, 2009.
The show will include five of the latest photographs from my long-term project on Burlesque. I began photographing the Legends of Burlesque in 1992 when I photographed the “Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque” Dixie Evans. Over the years I returned to Exotic World, located just off Route 66 in the California desert, to photograph their annual reunions where Dixie was kind enough to introduce me to many of her friends, allowing me to capture this part of Americana. The images in the show are the most recent additions to the project were taken at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in Las Vegas.
Come check out the work of my fellow Sony Artisans of Imagery: Matthew Jordan Smith, Andy Katz, Cristina Mittermeier, David McLain and Me Ra Koh. Big thanks to Kayla Lindquist, director of the Sony Artisan’s of Imagery, for putting this great show together for the one year anniversary of the program.
