That is definitely Dennis Stock. The photo was on the cover of Camera
and Darkroom in the early /mid 90s. I believe Feininger called it
"Cyborg."
Stock went on to become a well-known user of Olympus SLRs and has
created a number of outstanding coffee-table books of color photographs.
I have his "New England Memories," "Provence Memories," and "Brother
Sun." I also have his earlier "California Trip," which is B&W street
work of the caliber of Cartier-Bresson or Erwitt. He apparently used a
Nikon or Contax RF for that book, judging by his reflection in one
photograph.
