Señan y Gonzáles

Señán y Gonzáles snapped photographs like they were collecting gossip—always in pairs, always candid. They roamed 1920s Mexico City with a Rolleiflex hidden in a messenger bag, snapping street vendors at dawn or lovers mid-spat, then quietly slipped the prints into local papers under pseudonyms. Their favorite subject? The backside of buildings—crumbling walls, peeling posters—because, they said, "the city’s real face is what it hides." You’ll find their unsigned prints tucked inside old copies of *El Universal*; hunt down the March 12, 1927 issue.
