DAVID BURNETT

Bob Marley Spliff

This image was photographed in 1976 while David Burnett was on assignment in Jamaica for Time Magazine. David Burnett first photographed Bob Marley in 1976 and continued to document the reggae legend on the Exodus tour thoughout Europe during the spring of 1977. Caught at an exceptional moment in time, Burnett's work intersects with both the zenith of Marley's career and the traumatic upheaval of his flight from Jamaica after an attempt on his life.

This print was produced using Digital Lab Print technology on Archival Kodak Endura paper. During Digital lab printing, a computer is used to tell a specially engineered photo printer how to use the combination of chemicals and a projected light source to bring out the colors on the paper to match a digital image. This is sometimes loosely referred to as a wet process or wet print. No ink is involved. Instead software controls the exposure to light and chemicals necessary to create the reaction needed for the image to appear from within the paper.
