Photographs you took over 30 years ago

In 1974 or 1975 when I was a student at NYU, Dustin Hoffman gave a very funny lecture to the students as part of a series featuring humor. The lecturers for that series included Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, and Robert Klein, all of whom were brilliant. Afterwards he was gracious enough to allow me to take some photographs of him. He was friendly and fun to talk to. The negatives have never been printed, they've been in a box for 40+ years. Epson V600. I was using a Nikkormat with a Nikkor 50mm F2 (I still have the lens) then so it was probably Tri-X developed at home. Scanned the negative here with the Epson a few years back.

One image from the 1st roll of Ektachrome (E-4) that I processed myself in the Montgomery College (Rockville) campus newspaper (The Spur)'s darkroom. Red filter on Nikkor Ai 50mm f/1.4 lens mounted on my Nikkormat FTn.
Lookig west into the sun from Bull Run Mountain with friends from the campus.

My father gave me his "old" Leica IIIf with a 50/3.5 lens when I was 14 or 15 (1970 or 1971). My main hobby was railroad conservation and photography was used mainly to document rolling stock that was of interest. Here some material from the Museum Buurtspoorweg standing an the railway station of Hengelo (Netherlands). Clearly in need of some TLC (and restoration). It's actually the very first photo I shot with my "new" camera.
I still have and use the lens, but the IIIf was exchanged for an M2 somewhere around 1978.
As a poor schoolboy I bougt tins with 10 or 15 meter large rolls of film and filled casettes myself and developed and printed everyting in my father's darkroom.
Recently I started scanning all my old negatives and am amazed how well they kept all those years.
