IN MEMORIUM

Jim Marshall

February 3, 1936—March 24, 2010

Dear Friends of MarshallPhoto.com,

It is with sadness that we formally announce what the world now knows: Jim passed away on March 24 in New York City. As all who knew him can attest, Jim was one of a kind. It is no exaggeration to say that we will never see another quite like him. If you crossed the gonzo-nature of Hunter S. Thompson with the instinct of a Henri Cartier-Bresson, you might come close. Jim was an artist, with an artist’s eye, temperament, and pride. Although Jim could be among the most difficult of men, we who knew, loved, worked, and fought with him can tell you that he also had a heart as big as a house. Jim loved life, and his life was his work, his art, and his many friends—both famous, and those he met at the corner café.

And yet in this time of sadness, his images bring joy. That’s ultimately what Jim was after—to share the excitement and pleasure he felt in the heat of the moment, one guy with a Leica (or three!) strapped around his neck, simply doing what he loved the most.

Jim’s work is his legacy. And MarshallPhoto.com is the depository of that legacy.
