I have been collecting postage stamps my whole life.  The designs are beautiful and compelling, and I'm fascinated by the colors, the watermarks, the paper, and the printing styles of national and international stamps.

Wether new or old, the subject of stamps is extremely diverse and cover a wide range, from sports, cars, birds, flowers to presidents, kings and queens.
