I taught photography in Uppsala, many different courses over the years, between 1972 - 2009. At the end of each course, I gave each student a present, a so-called "Gåvobild", to thank them for the course.

This was, I found out, the very first photograph I gave away, in the Spring of 1973. I dug out my old printing notes and find that it was taken on the 15th of May 1973 at Mariefred here in Sweden. I printed it on my old Leitz IIA (THAT was a long time ago!) on Agfa Brovira Normal paper, developed in Agfa Neutol at a temperature of 21.5°C. I hadn’t the faintest remembrance that I once upon a time took the temperature of a black and white developer. Yet another sign that it was a long time ago!
