Public transport reveals much about who we are.


People pursue cloistered lives on trams, buses, subways, trains and yet there's always some interaction, a happening, even in the silence of one's own small world of worries and joys.


It is here I found in Hungary a photographic fascination, a sort of love affair with observing others observe me. 


We are joined on one car of a subway train or bus for the next stop at least and imprisoned in our own chamber of community in which we wonder who you and we are all at the same time, a mystery that only stops when you get off or on.


In this sometimes daily magic exploit of transfer did I become closer to the Hungarian people and to their elusive psyche, at least in my own subjective and cloistered world of worries and wonders.


I share some of those images and impressions.
