Although the heading above says Photographs 1964 to 1967, the photos in the posts below are provisionally only those relating more or less closely to the OVC. The other pictures from 1964-1967 (the voyage on the Stirling Castle, the trip through Europe in the old baker’s van, Iceland, and others) will hopefully be added here later.

Photography has been a hobby of mine almost as far back as I can remember. Here’s my very first camera dating back to about 1953.

So when I was fortunate enough to be at the OVC between 1964 and 1967, I made good use of the opportunity to take a lot of photos of some of the many wonderful people there.

It has taken a long time to find, organise and scan my 1964-67 negatives, and collect details about them (I could, for example, give you the details of the developer used and the time and temperature for the development of many of the films – but I won’t). It’s nice when a long project finally comes together, and although some of the pictures are not in their best final form (dust and scratches can be removed, exposures can be improved), I do not want to delay putting them online any longer; besides they can now easily be worked on.

The photographs appear in roughly chronological order. The list of blog archives on the right of this page contains the names of all the posts containing photographs. Each entry has a date for the pictures in that post. You can therefore click on any particular post and see the photos in it without having to scroll through other photos you may have no interest in.

If you appear in any of the pictures, if you can provide any further or corrected details (e.g. on names or other information), if you have any interest in or connection to the pictures, please contact me. It will be great to hear from you. All comments welcome!
