In trying to find more information on a picture of my grandfather, I posted a query on the Rootsweb/Ancestry Hungary message board and included a link to my April 9th blog post . Within 24hrs I received this detailed reply to my query in regards to translating the written portion on the backside.
The handwriting is an address, assuming in Budapest:
Bajnok utca = Champion street
30 I m = House number 30, First floor
Bognár Lászlo = name, in Hungarian last name goes first amerika
You can find Bajnok Street on this Map of Budapest at the left side between L and M sections where TEREZVAROS is written = Teresia Town (Budapest Zone VI/6):

The printed text is the photographers name and address:
"OPAL" FENYKEPESZETI MUTEREM = Opal Fotography Studio
BUDAPEST VII = Zone 7, KEREPESI UT = Road
You can find KEREPESI UT, the main Road at the lower middle of the same map.
Another mystery solved.
