Weegee (Arthur Felig) was the famous press photographer in the
1940s and 1950s who made IR famous with his theatre pictures, made
with IR flash bulbs. He is known for his "Murder Incorporated"
police photos. He worked from the back of a small car and was the
first news photographer to have a police radio in New York City.
Naked Hollywood? Used prisms to make unusual portraits, etc.
Anyone here know about him? Am I that old? Ed
