Background information
"The color photographs for the photo book 'Radius 500 Meters' come from the photo archive that author Terje ABUSDAL inherited from his grandfather, Åsmund Abusdal. Besides his work as a gas station operator in Dåsnes, he was also a local reporter for the newspaper 'Setesdølen'. The spontaneous snapshots, over time became involuntary historical documents and tell of small and large events in and around the gas station in Sweden in the 1970s and 1980s."
