Real challenge...

Thanks for the reason to look back thru the archives... spent a couple of very enjoyable hours scratching the surface...  Found a couple that were kind of mile-stones rather than very first.

The Paris photo was taken in the summer of 1969 using (most likely) a Pentax and (definitely) Kodacolor-X Safety Film.  My brother and I went to London and Paris that summer... both under 20 years old.

Kodacolor-X was a color negative film manufactured from 1963-1974.  Developed using the C-22 process (predecessor to the C-41 process).  I was using the 35mm format and most likely ISO 80 version (version 1 of the film was ISO 64).

The portrait couple are Simon and Jennifer from the UK, taken in Alberta, Canada in the summer of 1973 (most likely).  Film unknown (I think it was Kodachrome and there might be a slide around somewhere), camera was a Pentax.  They were hitching across Canada that summer and we spent a few days together in the Canadian Rockies.

First attempts at photography...  no way I will ever find any remaining results...  the photo-gods are kind in that regard ;-)
