Usher Fellig (a.k.a. Weegee) b. Ukraine, 1899-1968.
A self-taught photographer, most noted for ‘front-page’ murder scene photos.   Black and white images taken with a 4x5 Speed Graphic.  Later in his career, he was more of a personality with a camera.  His celebrity caricatures (manipulations easily today with Photoshop) were milestones in technique, the most famous Marilyn Monroe “Kiss”. A street photographer, a crime reporter, a paparazzi for the most part, with an eye for what sells.            Bill Kraus
