Standing Room for Sardines…
The NY Times continues the tradition of a crowded Coney Island beach photo during a heat wave…

Recent auctions: "Crime Scene"
Wee saw this photo recently at an online auction…
It sold for $1,118.99.
Wee don’t think that it was made by Weegee… It’s Weegee-esque, but doesn’t have the usual marks, stamps, etc… We’re searching for the publication…
[Editors note: Five years ago we were very skeptical about the attribution of many photos that were allegedly made by Weegee… Now we would probably write something like: this photo was probably made by Weegee… 01/2016]
Best. Weegee. Blog. Post. Ever.
A brilliant, profound blog post by Jim Linderman about Weegee’s photos of Bettie Page AND the FBI can be read here:

Only One Weegee Photo???
Surprisingly there’s only one Weegee photo in the Metropolitan’s otherwise great little show: “<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId=%7B4F9E1DE0-D720-40FF-ACF3-ACFA8C4673A7%7D
“>Night Vision: Photography After Dark.”
Nevertheless, it’s a great photo and appeared to get the most attention (and OMGs and LOLs) and was looked at the closest and longest…
