Legendary photojournalist and newspaper freelancer of the 1930s and 1940s, Weegee has made his fame capturing gruesome murder scenes and high-profile court drama. After a brief and miserable time as a Hollywood paparazzi, Weegee returned to New York, to the corpses and cops he liked better than celebrities. His incredible crime photography as well as "environmental recreations of Weegee's apartment and exhibitions" are on view at the International Center of Photography. Sounds exciting — and not for the weak of heart.
