The Phillip Harrington photography archive shows photographs of Elvis Presley, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Nat King Cole, Nancy Sinatra, Gary Snyder, Edward Abbey, Jack Kerouac, and others.
In 1956, Harrington briefly toured with Elvis Presley for a story that he and Gerry Zimmerman published in Look Magazine. They went to three shows: Detroit (May 25, 1956), Columbus (May 26), and Dayton (May 27). They also photographed the Presley family at home at 1034 Audubon Drive, Memphis. These are some great candid photos.
