Spirit Dancer

Description

9inth Wave Media is very proud to present this very special collection. Photographer Bruce W. Talamon captured these images of Bob Marley between 1979 and 1980 when he was granted unprecedented access to Bob Marley; on stage, backstage, center stage and unstaged. The resulting images are one of the most uniquely comprehensive collections of Bob Marley images available. The thousands of images were finally edited in 1994 to create the book "Bob Marley – Spirit Dancer", and are now being offered as general and limited edition gallery prints for the collector and the fan.

It has been nearly two decades since Bob Marley's untimely death in 1981 but he is still a powerful presence worldwide. His music remains at the top of the reggae charts, while his memory is indelibly etched in the minds of millions of his admirers. In the last three years of his life, he met photographer Bruce W. Talamon, with whom he felt comfortable enough to grant unprecedented access, both on stage and off. The result of this collaboration is "Spirit Dancer", published in 1994.

"Nowhere," writes Timothy White, author of "Catch a Fire: The Life of Bob Marley" was the private warmth, social equanimity, and zealous determination of the man better captured than by the intimate reconnaissance of photojournalist Bruce Talamon... Marley's personal magnetism fairly pulsates within the frames of Talamon's shots.... A number of fine photojournalists did portraiture of Marley during the course of his career, but Talamon's work eclipses the other's simply because Bruce's non-intrusive style conveyed the ordinary way Marley actually lived his life in the peak years of his international acceptance. The book, BOB MARLEY, Spirit Dancer' contains 90 black and white duotone photographs, printed in Italy, by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, Verona, Italy. A portion of these photographs from Bruce Talamon's files is now featured in the gallery section of this Web site. Others will be rotated in on an ongoing basis. Roger Steffens' text creates a moving and informative essay from highlights of Bob's life, to intimate background obtained through hours of personal interviews and correspondence with Bob, his family and confidants which, with Timothy White's introduction sets the proper mood and framework to view the photographs. The only suggestion that these three contributors might add would be that the photographs are best viewed with Bob's music playing... LOUD!!
