Did You Know?

When he was drafted to fight in World War I, André Kertész’s family bought him a light, easily handled camera so he could take it with him to the front.

Description

Did this couple peeking at a small circus through a hole in the wall know they were being photographed? Most likely, Kertész was using his lightweight, handheld camera and caught them unaware. If so, then he becomes as much a voyeur as the couple.
