Weegee

So while reading the Riis book last night I couldn't stop thinking about Weegee, this photographer from 30s and 40s who used to go out in nyc and take B&W pictures with a giant flash, all of sordid stuff (he used to follow announcements on a police scanner to find his subjects), some even of street kids. No word on whether he ever set any of his subjects' houses on fire.

The title of the posting is the link to his pictures...
