Named one of the "100 Most Important People in Photography" by American Photo magazine, David Burnett launched his photo-journalist career at Time magazine in 1967. From 1970 to 1972, he covered the Vietnam War as a staff photographer for Life magazine. In 1975, he co-founded Contact Press Images in New York. Traveling to more than 75 countries, Burnett has produced photographic essays for Time, Life, Fortune, The New Yorker, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, and many others. His famous photos of Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson during the CIA leak captured national attention, his work during in Vietnam exposed the grueling trials of a seemingly endless war, and his candid inside the White House and on the campaign trail shots of American Presidents since JFK have characterized the pressures of the job. His awards include "Magazine Photographer of the year" from the Pictures of the Year Competition, the "World Press Photo of the Year," and the Robert Capa Award from the Overseas Press Club, to name but a few.
One of the truly great photojournalists, Burnett has captured
unforgettable images...[he] visited Marley at his Jamaican home and
then amassed more shots of the reggae king on the Marley and
Wailers Exodus European tour. Only a few of Burnett s magnificent
pictures saw the light of day. Now you can experience over 200 of
them. Each absorbing photograph offers new insights into the soul
of this timeless musician/activist. Burnett, an exceptional artist
himself, allows us to travel through Marley s eyes, right into his
deepest essence. We can appreciate fully the intensity, caring,
power and rebelliousness of this musical force.
"Pop Culture Classics"
"Burnett captures the haunting Misty Mornings of the Isle of
Springs, and the private Jamming and cloudy studio wizardry of its
musical magicians. We see intimate portraits of Burning Spear; the
Bush Doctor, Peter Tosh; the irrepressible producers Jack Ruby and
Lee 'Scratch' Perry; and most impressively, the Prophet Bob Marley,
deep in thought and serious as a heart attack, in the process of
creating and sharing his immortal Redemption Songs."
