FYI: "Unknown Weegee" show in NYC

I believe you have to have a NY Times login to read it, though. No charge to get one, and there are plenty of 'fake' ones out there.

18,000!! REALLY!! That's an exhibit that'd take more than a visit or two to do justice to.

First I saw the post about the Weegee show. Then I noticed an avatar change.

Jeepers Bill. Looks like self sensorship going on over there in NC.

Hope that's gaffers tape.

I beg your pardon, I read this news item wrong. It says:

You'll find him these days at the International Center of Photography in a show called "Unknown Weegee." The center owns more than 18,000 of his pictures, and most of the 95 selected by Cynthia Young, the curator, are on view for the first time, at least in a museum. At the same time, the Weegee they reveal is pretty much the one we know, though toned down a bit, turned into a social worker, even.

Mea culpa. Only 95 on display.

Best Regards,

Mmmpgh. Mmmpgh! [Translation: Yes, it is. Still I think it will hurt like heck getting off.]

Mmmmphamamaphampha! [Translation: I will say nothing to incur the wrath of our hosts.]

No problem, Bill. I was thinking that'd be one hell of a show. Even 95 would take a while to appreciate.
BTW ... great avatar. 😀

cheers,

bill, a more reasonable avatar would be one of your hands taped shut. Taping da grill has no effect here.
