Many of Rosskam's Easter Sunday images were caught by a small camera with sensitive film and a sharp lens. They show their un-posed subjects in crowded or fragmented compositions, revealing the spontaneity newly possible with the "miniature" camera and soon to flower in the post-war genre of urban street photography.
