Weegee’s New York in the NYT

The NYT has put together a nice little feature on Weegee for “Weekend Explorer,” including a video segment that shows some of the once-gritty neighborhoods where Weegee stalked his prey and even an interactive map of the locations of some of his most famous shots. Definitely recommended, if only for the anecdotes that give added life to the story of this famous photographic sociopath. Who knew, for instance, that Weegee carried salami and cigars in the trunk of his car? Or that his ashes sat in a box with a pile of his photos until ICP received them in the ’90s?
