Jim Marshall, a master lensman with an all-access pass to the musicians, music, and seminal events that defined the Sixties’ counterculture and social movements.

Join us for a special viewing of Show Me The Picture: The Story of Jim Marshall on July 8th at 7:30 pm at the Martha's Vineyard Film Center in Vineyard Haven.

Show Me The Picture: The Story of Jim Marshall recounts the photographer’s colorful life behind and in front of the camera. Marshall had an innate curiosity about the people and the social issues dominating the latter half of the 20th century. He had incredible timing, capturing decisive moments of some of the most iconic figures in music history: among them, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, and Miles Davis

.

Throughout his groundbreaking career, Marshall crossed boundaries to record an extraordinary period of history; images of protest, civil unrest, and poverty, along with his stunning photography of the American jazz scene, San Francisco’s Summer of Love, and the early New York folk scene, are powerful. His famously abrasive but honest approach, combined with an incredible skill to build trust, allowed Marshall exceptional access to his subject.
