Weegee: "You can't be a Nice Nellie and do photography."


Ted at Boogie Woogie Flu found this old record at an antiques store in Phoenicia, New York, and posted some of the cuts as MP3's.

I've never heard Weegee speak before. "...One of those accents you don't hear so much in New York anymore: part Austro-Hungarian immigrant by way of the Lower East Side," Ted writes, "and part Elmer Fudd. Peter Sellers based his accent in Dr. Strangelove on Weegee's voice after Weegee visited Kubrick's set one day."
