I photographed this in Budapest whilst sitting having a coffee. It was taken 
on the Leica M7 using the Zeiss 50mm Sonnar f1.5 and Fuji Neopan 400CN film. 
As it has proved popular elsewhere I thought maybe I would share it here:

It is a pity that these guys have disappeared from so many streets as they 
can help giving tourists directions, help street security etc. etc. People 
like him can be the eyes and ears of the community. I know all the long 
arguments about cost effectiveness etc. but I just wonder sometimes whether 
progress is always in a forward direction.

Hope you like his ?portrait?.

Gerry
