I like Chess in the Park best. 

You caught a moment in time with those images, taken right after the fall of 
the Caucescu regime, when Romania was virtually a third-world country. In 
contrast to Czechoslovakia, Poland or East Germany, the fall of Communism in 
Romania was quite violent. I think if you went back today you would be hard 
pressed to find images like these, at least in Bucharest. And this week 
Romanians elected a president from an ethnic minority. Things have moved 
forward since you took these pictures, for sure.

Cheers,
Nathan
