George, was that all your own work, one of your earliest photos?

I did wonder. I know you started earlier and at a younger age than myself but I didn't really think you had started when you were actually still only 9-years old (on date quoted). Still, I thought I should ask to make sure!! (I'll leave you starting at 13 (?) and myself at 15.
