In his admirable obituary of Guglielmo Galvin, Martin Plimmer dates the start of Gil’s career as a photographer to his 40s. But when Gil and I, in our mid-20s, took over the lease on a rambling flat in an Edwardian block in Bloomsbury, central London, he already had his first beloved Hasselblad, and Patsy, whom he later married, was modelling for him.
On our first night in residence, Gil offered to do the washing up. A minute or two later, he joined me in front of the TV, which seemed odd. About an hour after that, there was a ring at the door. Our neighbour from downstairs, who turned out to be a Nobel laureate, had water coming through her ceiling. Gil, with his habit of overlooking the less important things in life, had simply turned the tap on in the sink and left it running. It took all his charisma, and a lot of mopping, to restore relations.
