Here is a fascinating story about Weegee:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/20/arts/design/20expl.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

"On the north side of Broome Street, between the Bowery and Elizabeth Street, you can stand where a dead guy once lay. Of course in New York City you can stand on lots of spots where dead people once lay. There are, after all, “eight million stories in the naked city,” as the narrator of “The Naked City,” the 1948 film noir classic, intoned. But as Andrew Izzo sprawled on this sidewalk on the Lower East Side in 1942, Arthur Fellig, one of the city’s most famous photographers, took his picture."

Make sure you click on the embedded video on the left hand side. It's a bit long, but a fascinating look into this photographers work.
