More quotes by Weegee
There are photographic fanatics, just as there are religious fanatics. They buy a so-called candid camera there is no such thing: it’s the photographer who has to be candid, not the camera.
Weegee
To me a photograph is a page from life, and that being the case, it must be real.
Weegee
I am a perfectionist. When I take a picture...it's gotta be good.
Weegee
The same camera that photographs a murder scene can photograph a beautiful society affair at a big hotel.
Weegee
I have no chips on my shoulder. I like to be constructive. As I have said, I have inspired many persons to take up photography. As a matter of fact, I inspire myself. (When I take a good picture I give myself a bonus.).

Sure. I’d like to live regular. Go home to a good looking wife, a hot dinner, and a husky kid. But I guess I got film in my blood. I love this racket. It’s exciting. It’s dangerous. It’s funny. It’s tough. It’s heartbreaking.

Weegee
To me, pictures are like blintzes - ya gotta get 'em while they're hot.
Weegee
Anyone who looks for life can find it... and they don't need to photograph ashcans. The average camera fan reminds me of Pollyanna, with a lollypop in one hand and a camera in the other. You can't be a Nice Nelly and take news pictures.
Weegee
Hollywood is Newark, New Jersey with palm trees.
Weegee
Many photographers live in a dream world of beautiful backgrounds. It wouldn’t hurt them to get a taste of reality to wake them up.
Weegee
When you find yourself beginning to feel a bond between yourself and the people you photograph, when you laugh and cry with their laughter and tears, you will know you are on the right track.
Weegee
I had so many unsold murder pictures lying around my room...I felt as if I were renting out a wing of the City Morgue.
