Armed with a Speed Graphic camera and a police-band radio, Weegee often beat the cops to the story, determined to sell his pictures to the sensation-hungry tabloids. His stark black-and-white photos were often lurid and unsettling. Yet, as this beautifully produced volume shows, they were also brimming with humanity. Designed as a series of "dossiers," this book follows Weegee's transformation from a freelancer to a photo-detective. It explores his relationship with the tabloid press and gangster culture and reveals his intimate knowledge of New York's darkest corners. It provides readers with a rich historical experience - a New York City "noir" shot through the lens of one of its most iconoclastic figures.Country/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Width: 30mmItem Weight: 1520gContributor: Carol Squiers (Contributions by), Alan Trachtenberg (Contributions by), Richard Meyer (Contributions by), Eddy Portnoy (Contributions by)Genre: Arts & PhotographyRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
