Pécs

Fülszöveg

A city is identified by its "places". The visitor first just looks then sees. Pictures prefer the seer not the looker. I don't want to see like a reporter. I am not interested in topical subjects. Everyday life is much more disturbing. The events such as when the Prime Minister visits Pécs, opens this and that, rewards and buries him or her is not reality. What I am interested in is "path-finding"; the print, the breath of a city or an era: the disappearing eternity.

Grand Prize in the Beautiful Hungarian
Book competition (1985, 1994), Balogh Rudolf Award (1995).
26 of his photos were selected for the collection of the Metropolitan, New York.
He has published several albums and other volumes.
Literature and Photography are identical twins. They both convey the most condensed information of the world. Photography deconstructs and constructs, literature constructs and deconstructs. Especially when one's gaze is directed, and who could direct it better than those two most sensitive "spiritual crafts", the winged knights of photography and literature. The virgin eye need to be deflorated.
The condition is that both gentlemen should be cross-eyed. Just like El Greco, the brilliant Creek was. The man who can walk about in a known but not overly-known city that can treat commonplaces like a plastic surgeon, who can go from Budapest to Pécs without any pain and by his photos transforms every well-photographed and well-documented building, street, and park into a noble silver nitrate painting and a piece of prose-poetry.
