  1. Budapest, 1973. This photo of a window cleaner comes close to what the great photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson's described as the "decisive moment" - that precise, but fleeting moment, when the visual and emotional elements of a scene come together for just a moment, before vanishing for ever. Kereki took a couple more photos of this scene (numbers 205247 and 205248 in the Fortepan archive), but it is the look on the window cleaner's face and his outstretched arm at this precise moment that really make this photo.

  2. Zsámbék 1979. A number of Trabants parked at the cemetery of Zsámbék, a small town west of Budapest. The town has a long history of human habitation, dating back to the Palaeolithic era, (approx. 3.3 million and 11,700 years ago.) The church, just out of frame, dates back to 1220, and was destroyed by the Mongols in 1241.

    The town's largely German population was forcibly resettled to Germany in 1946.
