Title: Andre Kertesz quote
Post by: jeremyrh on June 24, 2012, 03:48:15 am

Michael's quote on the home page reminded me of the extraordinary contribution of Hungarians to photography, including by people I didn't actually realise were Hungarians, such as Capa and Brassai. I think that the best way to improve my photography is maybe not to buy that next gadget, but to move to Budapest and take out citizenship :-)

And not to forget, it's also much more affordable to be a  photographer in Budapest.
