I have a wide range of stores on Zazzle reflecting my range of interests. Starting from childhood I was fascinated by animals, pets, wildlife, farm animals birds and butterflies. Coming as I do from a musical family I also learned violin, clarinet and guitar. My father was a keen photographer, he bought me a Box Brownie camera and I started photographing everything, well everything I could afford to given the cost of film and processing! I've kept on too! My second interest, aged around ten was dinghy sailing, although I also did some horse riding if the money I earned on the golf course would stretch. At thirteen I went to a Formula Three race at Crystal Palace and motor racing became my next obsession, but it was too costly even when I went to work. I took up skydiving and returned to the idea of motorsport later. At the parachute club I was also introduced to the joys of motorcycling. Later, after some years of racing cars and motorcycles I reconnected with music and dance and finally bought a boat and went off to sea for a decade, along, naturally with my camera. The huge portfolio of pictures I took while travelling, along with my back catalogue presented me with the opportunity to make some money whilst I travelled and my Zazzle stores were born. I've tried to theme the stores to make it easier for people to find what they want. Some stores are quite similar to others to avoid any one store becoming too cumbersome. I've made collections too so that hopefully people can find the gift they want with the picture they want. Some of the collections include products from more than one store. However, within my stores you'll find pictures and art including flora and fauna, ships, submarines, boats and yachts, motorcycles, cars and racing, aircraft and helicopters both classic and modern, horses, seaside towns like Hastings and Southwold, history, archaeology, architecture, trains and buses, there's even humor and politics! I hope you find something you like!
