Beyond the Veil #3 Budapest, Hungary 2011
I had passed this same woman in this booth near our apartment several nights in a row before I happened to pass at just the right distance that when I glanced over, she became a candidate for this series of images. ]]>POTD: Beyond the Veil #3 Read More »
Beyond the Veil #2 Budapest, Hungary 2011
This young lady on the tram we were riding probably didn’t even realize she qualified as being veiled. (Nor did she realize some American tourist would even find that interesting.)]]>POTD: Beyond the Veil #2 Read More »
Beyond the Veil #1 Budapest, Hungary 2011
It’s amazing what little it takes sometimes to spawn a series of photographs on a particular theme. This shot was among some I took at a flea market in Budapest. The boy’s face being partly hidden by the box when he turned his head unexpectedly was an unintended part of the composition. When I was reviewing the photos at the end of the day, I noticed there was also a second photo with a face that had been partially concealed by accident. In the days after that, I caught myself noticing all sorts of scenes with partially hidden faces and a series was born. I eventually expanded it to include photos of partially obscured people in general (not just faces).]]>POTD: Beyond the Veil #1 Read More »

Kossuth Mausoleum #5 Budapest, Hungary 2011
One last look at the Kossuth Mausoleum, this one from the back side. I might hope to live a life of monumental deeds worthy of such a memorial, though I certainly haven’t racked up any as of yet and am not likely to in the years I have left. But on the off chance I do, let it be marked only in history books if at all. I’m not really into big giant trophies.]]>POTD: Kossuth Mausoleum #5 Read More »
