The first comprehensive biography of Weegee--photographer, "psychic," ultimate New Yorker--from Christopher Bonanos, author of Instant: The Story of Polaroid.

Arthur Fellig's ability to arrive at a crime scene just as the cops did was so uncanny that he renamed himself "Weegee," claiming that he functioned as a human Ouija board. Weegee documented better than any other photographer the crime, grit, and complex humanity of midcentury New York City. In Flash, we get a portrait not only of the man (both flawed and deeply talented, with generous appetites for publicity, women, and hot pastrami) but also of the fascinating time and place that he occupied.

From self-taught immigrant kid to newshound to art-world darling to latter-day caricature--moving from the dangerous streets of New York City to the celebrity culture of Los Angeles and then to Europe for a quixotic late phase of experimental photography and filmmaking--Weegee lived a life just as worthy of documentation as the scenes he captured. With Flash, we have an unprecedented and ultimately moving view of the man now regarded as an innovator and a pioneer, an artist as well as a newsman, whose photographs are among most powerful images of urban existence ever made.

Keeps dogs busy.
Color: Orange
The dogs love this ball. They are afraid when it vibrates but as soon as it jumps and moves around, they are on it. They will play with it for quite awhile. Charge lasts for a long time. Very durable. This dog can tear anything apart but it's still in one piece.

Bad purchase 10 minute playtime
Color: Orange
This ball was bigger than the usual tennis ball size. It did not hold a charge longer than 10 minutes. The texture was softer but not worth buying for 20 minutes of fun 🙁

Good for smaller jawed dogs.
Color: Orange
This ball is so much fun for our 5 month old. He both chases it and lets it bounce in his mouth. This was after playing with it already for 10 minutes. The ball charges with a usb charger and lasts for a long time. I do take it away to keep the toy fresh and prevent him from just chewing on it. I will say the ball startles you a bit when it turns on in your hand. Happy with a different toy.

Our New Dog Sitter
Color: Orange
Our dog loves this toy so much. He just loves to chase it around. The ball has an auto bounce setting that keeps him entertained while I work at my desk. It is made of a brightly colored, high quality material and despite his rough housing it has not ripped or torn. It has a long lasting rechargeable battery for lots of doggy fun !
