Legendary rock photographer Jim Marshall, who captured some of the most memorable moments in music - Johnny Cash flipping the bird at San Quentin and Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar at Monterey Pop - died in his sleep Tuesday in a New York hotel. He was 74. The cause of death was not immediately known.

I'm feeling mildly discombobulated. I just found out an hour ago that Jim Marshall died in his sleep last night (Tuesday night) in his hotel room in New York City; he was there for another show opening and to give some lectures. There are no details at this time. I imagine his body simply...stopped. He was 74, and honestly it was amazing he made it this far.

The news that rock photographer Jim Marshall died yesterday at age 74 was a bit of a shock, since we interviewed him only weeks ago for his new photo book, “Match Prints,” and planned to hear Marshall speak tonight at an event in New York with fellow photographer and collaborator Timothy White.

There’s a famous saying about rock and roll that suggests there are only three chords; it’s just a matter of what order they’re put in. The same may be true for rock photography, as evidenced by “Match Prints” (Collins Design), a new book by Jim Marshall and Timothy White.

 Nissan GT-R, shot by Jim Marshall

AOL Autoblog: Rock photographer Jim Marshall turns his lens towards the Nissan GT-R.

The Nissan GT-R is undoubtedly the rock star of the auto industry at the moment. So it makes since that Nissan hired noted rock and roll photographer Jim Marshall to capture the GT-R's gestation over the past year. The series of images released by Nissan are quite unlike the official images we've seen so far, as well as the shots taken by enthusiast mags. Those are all perfectly staged shots of the GT-R being posed like a super model.
