You know, the classic man at the window. Just wondering the photographer, if anyone knows...?

It's a mash-up of Spider Stacty's back view and an iconic image of Sammy Davis Jr photographed in New York in 1959, but I'm afraid I can't recall who did either the original pic or the Spider version.

oh. man, i'm looking pretty ignorant now, yeesh. and i call myself a photographer and a fan of the rat pack. Either way, the original is great and the revamp is a good use of appropriation (which is usually a bad word, with good reason). Hopefully either artist will surface...

OK. So now my best guess is Burt Glinn took the original pic.

I didn't realize he also took this photo:

Wow.

I'm curious which hotel the Davis Jr. was taken in. Somewhere Midtown East? Hmm.
