from Wikipedia:

"Weegee was the pseudonym of Arthur Fellig (June 12, 1899 - December 26, 1968), an Austrian-born American photographer and photojournalist, known for his stark black and white street photography.

Weegee worked in the Lower East Side of New York City as a press photographer during the 30's and 40's".

So: I am running around with a 4x5 Press Camera (Crown Graphic) with a huge flash, at night, taking pictures. Part performance art, really. Mostly in bars, and getting some strange antics.
