Newsstand salesman

Csaba Meszaros (Budapest, Hungary)
Photographed February 2009, Budapest, Hungary

Meszaros remembers when people would line up at newsstands, and for him this photograph, sadly, is a sign of the times. “Nowadays,” he says, “electronic media is more important and interest in print media is falling. The news agent has enough free time to read what he is offering. Twenty years ago, this was unthinkable.”
