A Photographic “Did You Know”:
Ukrainian Photographer Arthur Fellig who worked in New York City had, as one of his first jobs, the task of removing excess water from prints in the darkroom at the New York Times. This gained him the nickname of “Squeegee Boy”…which eventually became “Weegee” (and which he pronounced “Wee-chee”!)

A Photographic Quote of Note:
I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty.
