Photographer Kenneth Olausson on his career and 10 years with Ronnie Peterson:
"Having just turned fifteen, I borrowed my father's box camera to photograph Formula 1 world champion Jim Clark at the Gellerås track. That was my debut. Then followed six years of wandering around the world to follow motorcycle races in Europe and the USA. 1967 I took the picture of the year in the photo magazine "SE". In the fall of '68 I met Ronnie Peterson. The meeting was the beginning of a long friendship and resulted in me traveling to Monaco in 1969 when Ronnie made his breakthrough as a World Cup promise. In a fraction of a second and 25,000 images later, I had seen 48 Grands Prix with Ronnie out of his total of 123 GP starts."
