David,

For anyone not familiar with Weegee and his style of street photography, go to

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OKozNy2CDQ ;
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OKozNy2CDQ>

and you’ll find a video of a man paging through quite a bit of Weegee’s book, 
"Naked City,” including a photo of him with his Speed Graphic with flash gun.

For even more, in his own words, go to:

Best,

WeeGee was also known to carry around a big jug of water, in his trunk.  He'd 
splash it around the crime scene, because in B&W, it looked like more blood!

David.

Because my dad was a newspaper man, a reporter and editor, Weegee was
well known in my boy hood home.

He chased the police at all hours and shot some very grisly photos of
corpses, crash victims, fight losers, etc.

Lots of good stuff but lots of gore too.

He was truly unique.
