Origins
I know my brother’s going to resent me for saying this, but first-born children tend to get all the photographic attention — at least until the second kid comes along. The first five years of my life were meticulously photographed by my mom and dad, including a handful of photos documenting my early love of LEGO. Here I am showing off some unrecognizable creation, circa 1978:
I think this one’s a bit earlier, from about 1977:
From 1977 to 2007 and from Basic bricks to Cafe Corner, this post brings my LEGO hobby full circle. I wonder what the next 30 years will bring!
So, do you have any old photos of yourself playing with LEGO as a kid?

I’ve got a photo of me showing my Granny a Duplo train, when I was a toddler. There’s some blurry Lego shots from my pre-teen years too before I had the ability to take macro shots. : )

Do, share, Richard.
Bram, looks like your photo didn’t come through. Once I’ve moderated you (it was a one-time thing), I think links and other HTML should be allowed.
