I spend lots of time walking around different areas of Budapest, sometimes 3/4 times a year. I’m not brave enough to get some of the photos that I truly want to take, and this is purely because it can be a hassle for people when they are on the end of a lens but do not want to be. These are just a few of the 1000 images I’ve taken recently on the streets of Budapest.
