Weegee was a legendary, and controversial, crime scene photographer. This photo, pointed my way by the fantastic Anne Bilson, is the antithesis of everything he’s best known for. It’s magical, the cinema audience suspended beneath the luminous cable of imagery carrying them away to somewhere better, or at least further away from their own lives for a while. It’s a beautiful, graceful image that speaks to the same love of cinema as the clip from a few weeks ago and is this week’s Sunday Moment of Zen.
