RE: [Leica] HCB and Jim Marshall

["B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net>]

Hey, guys...I WAS born in THE right year, love Marshall's stuff, think some
of it is iconic....However, as the person who foolishly mentioned him in the
same breath as HCB...To paraphrase Lloyd Benson, "I know HCB's photography,
and Jim Marshall is NO HCB.." But then there is virtually no one is is or
was Jim Marshall....

(Who is NOT putting down Jim Marshall with the comments above....And who
does NOT believe the BS from those who archly suggest that anyone with a
camera and the access Marshall had would have taken the photos he
took....There were, after all, countless people with the access is those
Golden Days of Yesteryear, and there is only ONE Jim Marshall...DAMN!!!!
Where oh where are those negatives and contacts I had from the 1964 Newport
Folk Festival...Yes, That Newport Folk Festival, the year BEFORE Dylan went
electric, the year when Tom Paxton, the Kewskin Jug Band, Richard and Mimi
Farinia, and Jose Feliciano played the New Folk concert...when I was just a
doofy kid with a meterless Pentax, a press pass issued by "17 Magazine" and
a couple bricks of Tri-X begged off the father of a girl friend - who was a
photo ed at Life Magazine ...the father, not the girl friend ....ah, those
WERE the good old days...at least the days of the festival were...those
acne-plagued years in general really sucked...but I digress...)
