This 1932 picture by André Kertész is titled At the Bobino, Paris.

Vanity Fair

I saved this picture years ago. I didn’t know who the photographer was or the title of the picture so I named the file A Ghost of the Lost Generation. Back then, it was ephemeral, a phantom echo of a far away past.

Tonight the picture looks different. I suppose photographs, like books and film, are in the eye of the beholder. A beholder could look at the picture in 2015 and see it quite differently in 2025.

I wonder what you see when you look at it.
