Hot off the editing suite, we haven’t even had time to put the end credits on this one! Weegee is the photographer whose images defined the mythology of New York in the 30s and 40s and Amber holds one of the largest collections of his work outside that city. This month sees the launch of a Weegee Print Sales section at Amber-online (images duplicated in the collection) and to mark the occasion we are presenting this documentary, bringing together interviews with Weegee’s widow Wilma Wilcox (who gave Amber the photographs) and the legendary New York printer Sid Kaplan (who printed most of what Amber holds).
