People are taken into custody by the U.S. Border Patrol near Falfurrias, Texas March 29, 2013. Brooks County has become an epicentre for illegal immigrant deaths in Texas. In 2012 sheriff's deputies found 129 bodies there, six times the number recorded in 2010. Most of those who died succumbed to the punishing heat and rough terrain that comprise the ranch lands of south Texas. Many migrants spend a few days in a "stash house", such as the Casa del Migrante, in Reynosa, Mexico, and many are ignorant of the treacherous journey ahead.

To the well-known photographer who shot them with a telephoto lens, the pictures of people going about their daily lives in the building across the street constitute art.
To the residents of a Manhattan apartment complex who now find those personal images of themselves on display and for sale at a local art gallery, it’s invasion of privacy.
Artist Arne Svenson took the pictures through the open windows of the apartment across the street in Tribeca, unbeknownst to the residents being photographed. The snapshots capture intimate moments like people putting a sleeping child to bed or taking a nap.
The apartment-dwellers are outraged after seeing the photos being sold for as much as $8,000 each in an exhibit at a Chelsea gallery
