Jim Marshall Legendary Rock Photographer

Jim Marshall died in his sleep this week. So many of us grew up looking at and loving his images. They really shaped the way we thought of the people he photographed. You know ... the stars. Jim Marshall made Bob Dylan cool, he made our hearts break for Pearl on that couch with her boyfriend Southern Comfort. He showed us real black people being their smart, beautiful talented unapologetic selves. Hendrix was only 26 or 27 years old, just a youngster when he lit his guitar on fire and Jim Marshall captured it and shared it with us. Jim helped create, document and deliver a brave new world. Godspeed Jim Marshall.

Misplaced Man Hole Covers

Found this while snooping around on a Friday. It's a great idea and is a nice reminder that little things really do matter.

"Misplaced Manhole Covers form part of a loose photographic study of the minutiae of our everyday surroundings, entitled 'As found'. 'As found' is a collection of photographs, taken by a number of contributors, documenting hiccups, adaptations, encounters and subversions in the street. 'As found' can also be viewed in full on the Medium website."

Last One Out, Please Turn On The Light

Photographer Richard Nicholson has documented the last remaining professional darkrooms in London. All the images are shot 4x5 film and lit to reveal the often hidden contents of the room. Looking at these images I feel a bit of nostalgia. Also, I can still smell the chemicals.

Flashlight Photorental

Flashlight Photorental had their latest promo printed by Hatch Show Print in Nashville. I like the non-comfortaty of the poster for a photography rental joint. FLPR cared enough to think outside the box with this piece. That ability has a lot of value to me. If I am dealing with a vendor and there is a problem, I want someone who cares enough to problem solve with me. This has always been my experience with Flashlight. The gear is always clean and works as it should. FLPR will help you determine what gear you may or may not need based on your shot specs. Then there is the fact that they deliver 365 / 7am-7pm! Who does that these days?

If you are in Minneapolis or coming to town for a shoot, Flashlight is the go to place to rent the gear you need.

Hatch is one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in America and their look is unmistakable.
