20 years ago it started
20 years ago it started in Hungary. The first domino to fall, followed by Czechoslowakia, East Germany, Romania… 1989 was an incredible year…
End of March I was in Hungary to work on a chapter of the Refugees book. There were pro-democracy demonstrations in the streets… Little did we know how far this would go.
HUNGARY. Budapest. 15/03/1989: Opposition demonstration before the change of regime in Hungary.

Marcin, I have managed NOT to take pictures for a couple of weeks now… Cleaning my head and building up tension to shoot again… And from the 11th on I will be scanning for the next two weeks… So the posts will be very occasional but go full speed ahead once I’m back in Cambodia…
