I think most of us feel this way. Just a take a look at this photo which is among one of the first I have ever taken with a film slr back in 1996. This could have been so much better if I had not cutoff the cinderella castle and if I had waited until the little girl to the left had moved away. So only my sister and her husband was in the photo. But I have learned lots since and a lot of from here.
Oh, that was bad.
I have a semi-positive attitude about past work-shots. I've decided not to agonize over them, as I only had a wide angle camera/fixed lens combination with my 22 year old when he was a baby. So many pictures of little baby, really large surroundings. Oh, those were the days. My two little sons have so many beautiful pictures. But again, I don't feel bad. That's what I had and I will make it up to my oldest whenever he gets married and has kids. He's available, girls, and he sings like Josh Groban.
Always the mother . . . .
