The last couple of photos from the Fortepan have been by Imre Prohászka. He has over 600 photos in the collection. That's mainly because he was the official photographer of the National Traffic Safety Council and his job was to document Budapest's transit ecosystem: traffic jams, winter blizzards, and, like here apparently, broken-down trams!

Ferenc Sebő, shown here on the left, passed away last week at the age of 79. He was a pioneer of the so-called táncház ('dance-house') movement in Hungary which revitalised interest in traditional Hungarian folk music, both in Hungary and in the regions beyond. Táncház, as well being great fun, is used to teach folk dance and music and is listed as a UNESCO "Intangible Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding". Sebő's influence was immense and among his many proteges is the internationally renown folk singer, Márta Sebestyén.
