The Rolling Stones 1972 50th Anniversary Edition
Jim Marshall
It’s a book for Stones fans, of course, but also for photo folks because THIS is how you tell a story. THIS is how you cover events. These are the sometimes quiet, sometimes off-kilter moments that people remember. This is what you do when you have access.
