The Rolling Stones, as Shown by Jim Marshall

CNN.com has a gallery up of images from the new Jim Marshall book on the 1972 Rolling Stones tour. One quote, pulled from an earlier book, says more about Marshall and his work than everything else ever written about him:

I want someone to see those people, not my picture of them.

So well said, and something a lot of younger photographers forget. Photojournalism isn’t about technique or cameras or post-processing – it’s about people.
