We (the staff) have been discussing the posting of photos, and the suggestion came up to show where we began, by posting photos of our earliest works.
The purpose here is to show that we haven't always been as "accomplished" as we are now.
The hope is that those just starting, can see that improvement does come with time, and even the best, (not me :o ) had to start somewhere.
The one shot I have of my first layout,in the mid to late fifties, a 4' X 6' "table":

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
