Even though we didn’t get to have the full lecture, and the images were small, I recognized many of the photos from when we were studying New York history in school. The images I recognized instantly were the crime scene photos of Weegee [whose name, by the way, I found out "was a phonetic rendering of Ouija, due to his frequent arrival at scenes only minutes after crimes, fires or other emergencies were reported to authorities. "] they possess a special power that allows them to make you sick to your stomach the second you realize the pile of clutter you thought you were looking at is actually a crumpled up, broken, dead human body.
