(CNN) -- Jim Marshall was always watching. His contemporaries remember him forever on the spot, four or five cameras draped around his neck, the proverbial fly on the wall. A new book, "The Haight: Love, Rock and Revolution," shows how he chronicled an era. Click: Janis Joplin. Click: Jimi Hendrix at Monterey. Click, click, click: The Beatles at Candlestick Park, the Grateful Dead on a rooftop, the Jefferson Airplane casually jamming. Marshall is justifiably famous for these photos of the famous. But it wasn't like he put away his cameras when the rock stars -- then, for the most part, just getting more widely known -- put away their instruments. "The Haight" showcases pictures Marshall took from about 1965 to 1968, when Haight-Ashbury went from a quietly run-down fringe area to the most famous neighborhood in America: Hippie Central.
