Weegee and Murder

Because, yes, I will always jump at the chance to link to something about Weegee, here's an NPR story on some of his shots depicting murder and death. The original audio version of the story is on the same page.

Weegee was really the first photographer I ever loved, and I can remember seeing a travelling exhibition of his prints at the Glendon Campus of York University many eons again when I was just a kid. I think his work is much more influential than most people realize and is probably the biggest single inspiration for the entire 'noir look' of 1940's cinema.
