Taken with a Universal Press camera on 120 B&W film ~1980. Just for reference, #41 was 5' 10" and a sophomore.
Good action shots and the lighting seemed excellent.
Here is another one I took in the seventies with Pentax MX on Kodachrome.

Nice, looks familiar! I'm heading to Creston in September again, like that area.

Lovely shot of the then all-new pedestrian area in Vienna's Kärntner Strasse! Sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s, I spotted a used Pentax-A 1.8/135mm in the "Foto City" store on the right hand side for less than 700 Euros, which of course was a lot more at the time but nevertheless... Unfortunately I could not afford it back then. Never saw a second copy.

She did a good job with these, nicely exposed and sharp.

Thanks for the reminder of the Vienna street name, I completely forgot. Vienna was one of my favorite places I visited on that trip.

Here is a scan of a B&W Darkroom print of demolition near Brentwood Railway Station in the 1980's -- it is now an office block -- I used a 35mm f2 Super-Takumar with a 1973 bought 'Electro-Spotmatic' I got new in Japan -- it developed a 'memory fault' with the CDS cell so I sold it to a Camera Club member who collected Pentaxes as it has the original box, brown case and instructions -- film was Ilford XP1 home-processed.

Here is a Press photo I took for the 'Brentwood Argus' newspaper which went BROKE in 1980 so I know it is OK to post here-- it won a prize on Channel 4 British TV Channel and I got a free 1st Class rail trip with expensive Breakfast to the Granada TV studios in Manchester and my negative was printed and framed for display.
101 year old lady in her little cottage, 1973 bought 'Electro-Spotmatic' + 55mm f1.8 SMC Takumar, Ilford HP5 film, available light + weak flash

You certainly got around. Like a true photographer, you have an excellent record of a changing world.
