Who was the other rather famous rock and roll photographer who had a studio right at the north end of the San Fernando Valley? In the days when he had taken to renting out his studio to motion picture production companies, I spent some time there and I''ll be damned if I can remember his name.

Yes, I've seen Jim Marshall's work, I consider him special because he
wasn't a one horse pony. He shot black and white, color, backlit and
front lit. I love the backlit photo of Eric Clapton that is almost a
silhouette and even the bright color full front lit shot of Spinal Tap.
But I've also seen a number of cameras that were purportedly his.
Perhaps this one truly was. Then again, perhaps it was not.

Do you know who Jim Marshall is? Are you familiar with his work?
