Weegee used the trunk of his car as a darkroom.

Arthur Fellig, better known as Weegee, contributed images of murder, mayhem, and drama to New York's press through the 1930's and 40's. Weegee derived his name from the phonetic spelling of Ouija, claiming that psychic powers enabled him to be the first at fires, crime scenes and the like.

A little photoshop or two of famous photography helps pass the time on a Sunday morning. Here, take a look.



If you want to see more of the work of Mr. WeeGee, then go visit here, here, and here.
