Weegee + Atget
Wee found this post in the drafts folder… it was made some time ago… the image files are from a museum’s website (perhaps MoMA?)… don’t remember exactly what this was about… perhaps the concept was to create Weegee-Aget mash-ups… nothing and more nothing…
House on Haunted Hill…
“House on Haunted Hill” directed and produced by William Castle, 1959…
can be seen here: http://archive.org/details/The_House_On_Haunted_Hill
Screams!!!
“The ghosts are moving tonight, restless, hungry…
I’ll show you the only really haunted house in the world…”
(Weegee had a connection with this movie… He photographed William Castle at the premiere and the skeletons in the movie theatre…)
66 Years Ago Today… “Shadow of a Doubter”

Slightly irrelevant: Spheres of Influence: Arbus video with Lisette Model interview…
“There’s a quality of legend about freaks… I mean, if you’ve ever spoke with a person with two heads, you know they know something that you don’t… They are aristocrats.” D. Arbus.
“Masters of photography – Diane Arbus” (1972) can be seen on youtube here…
(From about 10:00-13:00 minutes Lisette Model, friend and colleague of Weegee’s, talks about someone who was influenced by Weegee:-)
“Original and unique…
And then it had to be explained to her,
that there are great artists in every era,
who are so new, and so different, that no one can understand them,
the ears and eyes are not used to them…”
