Banality and all its charms


Weegee understands. He could never make a commercial photograph of a girl running on a beach. Or a girl running on a beach with a ball. Or a girl lying on a beach with a ball. For the publishing industry, the variations of the girl on beach are infinite.

Not Weegee though. He liked a nice guy drinking a beer caught in a meaningless but pleasurable moment. But because he was Weegee, he makes the moment have meaning.

Copyright belongs to the ICP but the digital image is from the Metropolitan. Don't know the date. Maybe 1930's.
