Weegee: An American Original
Wee Gee, “At his typewriter in the trunk of his Chevy” ca 1943
“Hard light, dark blacks, stark faces, odd angles, disjointed images –– everything was calculated to make you feel you were in the middle of a drama, right there, looking down on the corpse, with the bystanders, with the cops, with the murderer in cuffs, and the widow screaming in horror.”
