Weegee’s Guide to New York: Weegee was here…
If you, like me, find yourself walking around New York City, wondering:
Was Weegee here?
Did Weegee make a photograph on this street? Of this building? In this room? Right here?
Can we return to the scene of the crime?
Are we in Weegee’s World?
Well, my photogenic photographic fiends and friends, the answer to the immortal question:
Where did Weegee work, can now be found in a wonderful new book: The Weegee Guide to New York, (Prestel, 2015)

Esther Bubley’s photographs of Albert Einstein in Discover Magazine – April 2015
Story about the shoot as told by Jean Bubley
Esther photographed Einstein for Life Magazine on his 74th birthday. He normally didn’t like photographers, but he had agreed to a photo shoot because there was a big celebration in honor of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He thought he had agreed to a one hour photo session. She thought she had the whole day. After an hour he started to leave, but he noticed that Esther looked disappointed. He asked why and she explained. Since she had been so unobtrusive, he let her follow him around for the rest of the day.
She photographed him at home, and at his office at Princeton, and on the walk home. One of the photos shows him walking along the road in the same direction as the auto traffic. The Life editors chastised her for photographing Einstein walking on the wrong side of the road. But she replied, “Who was I to tell Einstein where to walk?” They used that photo as the lead-in for the story.
