Fallen For Photos
February 9th, 2012 § 1 Comment
I took a romp through Chelsea today. Stopped in at Printed Matter to fondle handmade books and zines. I then went to see the Vivian Maier photo show. It was beautiful. And much to my surprise found myself enamored by WeeGee, a photographer whose work was also on display. He captured New York City in the 1940s, complete with whores, murders, poverty, clowns, queers and jazz.
The above photo is entitled “Their First Murder, 1945.”
