Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young by Tom Gundelfinger O'Neal, 1969, for their album Déja Vu
@Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery
Wait, you count six? Ahmet Ertegun convinced CS&N to add Neil Young, & on Déja Vu they added session musicians Greg Reeves & Dallas Woodrow Taylor Jr.
There's a different Tom Gundelfinger photo on the cover of Déja Vu, which had a very expensive design concept by Gary Burden. There was even a 4x5 tripod-mounted wooden tintype camera at the session, but this was apparently taken with a 35mm camera.
Not sure whose dog that is.
