Weegee

Photography Appreciation

Weegee, born Usher Fellig, was a photojournalist known for following the city's emergency services during the 1930s and '40s capturing images and then selling them to newspapers. To get his photographs the newspapers fast, Weegee had a complete darkroom in the trunk of his car.

You can see his many many images HERE.
