The Village by Weegee di Arthur Fellig
Photographs of Greenwich Village, NYC by Weegee
Excellent photography, but poorly presented in this DaCapo edition. Cheap paper's not a good medium for photos.
Gotta mention the delightful set of pix of Frankie Sinatra and some girl in the audience, though. Even on cheap paper they were delightful.
==========
For the record: I've acquired a different edition of the book. It's much better than this one.

At turns haunting, and at others humorous or heart-breaking, this collection is more of a time-capsule into New York's past, and perhaps even our country's past, than any other work of writing or media that I can think of. Weegee's work was brilliant, and the translation of its power to contemporary readers isn't at all injured by time. Whether you glance through the photographs half-hazardly or sit down to take your time over his work and words (sparse as they may be), you're sure to find something here worth remembering and returning to.… (altro)
De foto's van de Poolse fotograaf Weegee (echte naam Arthur Fellig) waren het grote voorbeeld voor Ed van der Elsken. Weegee is het voorbeeld van de rauwe onopgesmukte fotografie. Hij beweerde tijdens zijn carriëre van 5000 misdaden foto's genomen te hebben. Subtiliteiten als een mooie belichting of een mooie compositie waren voor hem niet van belang. Het ging erom als eerste ter plekke te zijn en foto's te maken. Hij gebruikte bijna altijd een flitser recht van voren voor zijn foto's. De foto's in dit boek zijn meestal niet echt mooi te noemen, maar wel allemaal heel direct. Van mij hadden er wel wat minder foto's in gemogen van misdaden en wat meer portretten. Het boek is prachtig uitgegeven.… (altro)
