I just saw some stuff from the 1960's that was pretty interesting. He had a lull in his acting career and worked on his still photography for a while. Sorry about the Apocalypse Now reference to Tim Page. I thought it was him. I didn't realize that Jim Marshall was a war photographer. I always thought he spent his time in the trenches of rock & roll. Best, John > >"John R.
