Weegee
“The Joy of Living” Weegee (Arthur Felig)
The irony in this picture is just perfect. There’s not much else that has to be said.
I don’t think this is one of the photos we looked at in class, but that’s alright. Weegee’s work has always been so appealing to me because it’s so raw and unabashed. He’s not afraid to show you the hand hanging over the white-clothed stretcher or the blood on the sidewalk. He shows New York in all its grit, grime, and glory.
