Weegee worked inManhattan,New York City\'sLower East Sideas a press photographer during the 1930s and 1940s, and he developed his signature style by following the city\'s emergency services and documenting their activity.[1]Much of his work depicted unflinchingly realistic scenes of urban life, crime, injury and death.
