I was given the filters that belonged to photographer Arthur "Weegee" Fellig to play around with (it's a long story how I came into possession of these hand-made filters). But these were the filters he used on Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe.


I'm hoping to create a series that's an ode to him, a hat's off to his more experimental photography.


This one is a floor reflection with Weegee's glass filter over it.

And here are his filters over Charlie Chaplin:

(And trust me, I cannot emphasize how happy I am to be holding a part of history in my hands.)
