impressive moment, not only the bravery but also the emotions that were running high...today we look behind I wonder what is left of it

Well, this is a classic photo and a true documentary one also. When I read 'no name compact camera' I was even more impressed..goes to show you - that you can capture moments with little money if you have imagination and vision. It is not easy to find a photo like this one! I have to say I think you are very brave! My best, Phyllis

A forradalom idején még csak gyerek voltam, számomra csak a dudáló és lámpázó autók látványa maradt meg a Homoródfürd?i táborból hazamenet, pulóveres emberek a tévében a vén diktátor m?soridejében és szüleim könnyes szeme, mondván, hogy ez az els? szabad karácsony. Az igazán véres részek csak kés?bb, az ilyen fotókról köszöntek vissza. Nem irigyellek azért, hogy ott lehettél, ahol a vér folyt, de tisztellek azért, hogy megtetted.

By the time of the Revolution I was only a kid, for me the only memories remaining were the cars signaling to each other on the road home from the winter camp in Baile Homorod, guys dressed in pull-overs in the TV when the old dictator should have been appearing, and the tears in my parents' eyes saying that this would be our first free Christmas. I found out the really bloody parts of the fights much later, from photos like this. I do not envy you for the chance of being there, but I respect you for that.
