Maguire's crime scene photography work is based on Arthur "Weegee" Fellig, a famous crime scene photographer in the 1920s and 1930s, who was licensed to possess a "scanner" radio that allowed him to listen to frequencies used by the police and fire departments. This enabled him to arrive (by car) at crime and fire scenes, sometimes before the authorities did, as if informed by telepathic powers, to which his nickname, a corruption of "Ouija", alludes. He sold his photos to tabloid newspapers. The photos in Maguire's apartment are real 1930s crime scene photos, some of which were taken by "Weegee".
