Todd Maisel – The Modern Weegee – from Brooklyn to Iraq

Todd Maisel, an award-winning staff photographer of the New York Daily News, who has spent nearly 30 years shooting the streets of New York City to the sands of Iraq during the 2003 invasion, referred to by some as “the modern Weegee,” in reference to his most revered photography icon Arthur “Weegee” Felig, who was the first to roam the streets of the city with police radios and captured life, death and crime on his old Speedgraphic for the metropolitan dailies of the time, will treat the audience to a slide show of award-winning photographs from some important events in history.  A special tribute show will include photos from 9-11 World Trade Center terror attack.  A question and answer period will follow.
