Request for photograph(s)

Dear Rob,
I hope you are keeping well and safe? All is well here. I am hopeful that your earlier offer of assistance with screening and uploading photographs still stands? If so, then I'd be most appreciative if, whenever convenient, you could contribute a photo of Jack Whiting for the present article's infobox, please?

There is this one, at travsd's blog, which suggests that it might be in the public domain?
This excellent photo at IMDb also seems suitable for our purposes.
As would this one, at famousfix.com.

Thank you very much Rob, for letting me know if you're able to assist, whenever convenient. Until then, please keep well.
With kind regards;

Hey Patrick, I just loaded a pic. Robman94 (talk) 17:57, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Rob,

Amazing!!! That pic is even better than the other three I suggested above! You’re an absolute star, Rob, and thank you so much, once again, for being such a helpful and supportive colleague (and blisteringly prompt!

).
With kindest regards;

You're welcome. If you want to know how I did it, I just searched ebay for pics of him. Pics taken before 1978 that don't have copyright markings on them are considered public domain and therefore free to use, so as he died in 1961 any pic of him would be eligible as long as it doesn't have any (C) markings on it. I downloaded and uploaded the first version "as is", so people can check for (C) markings, then I digitally cleaned it up by removing the autograph, cropping the edges and rebalancing it.

Hi Rob; thank you also for taking the time to offer the above explanation. I'll copy this section to my talk page, and will continue our exchange from there.
With kind regards;
