So beautiful! For someone with such a brusque & matter-of-fact image, Weegee could come up with perfect, sensitive, graceful photographs.

New York, 1948
And Weegee returns the favour in a nice portrait of Halsman.
Two photographers who fooled around a lot could get serious when they wanted to.
James Dean in Greenwich Village, c. 1955
This shot says a lot about Weegee. He's not immune to celebrity, but he was more interested in the human interest of the hug.
