Been to an exhibition: "Brassaï: Paris la nuit"

I went to a photo exhibition yesterday, with some fantastic images by Hungarian photographer Gyula Halász, whose pseudonym was Brassaï. He was born in what is today Romania and went to Paris in the 20s, when he was 25. He worked as a journalist and had a passion of photographing Paris at night - its streets, cafes, cabarets and brothels. The exhibition I saw was exactly about this period and has some awesome night shots of the city (I'm not much into the brothel images, I find this kind of photography, as well as shooting homeless, drug addicts and people with mental problems very disturbing).

I didn't know about him before this exhibition started, and maybe you don't either, so here is a link to some of his work and a his bio:
