[SI] Old - my shot

http://www.pbase.com/image/32611106

There are two interpretations here. Yes, stamp is old - I'm not too sure
about this exact one, but it's turn of the century (around the 1900s). I
did a bit of reseach and saw that they made a series with the same picture
in all kinds of values - up to 20 cents I think.
Also, not only is the stamp old, but - let's face it - so is Queen Victoria.
In this particular pic she ain't exactly the "freshest" monarch. And by
now, well...I don't think "fresh" would be the right word to describe what's
left of her.
The stamps in the background are blurred on purpose, but FYI - they have
Queen Elizabeth on them.
So there you have it...
Oh, and one more thing...I haven't collected stamps since I was 9 years old.
I had to go through boxes and boxes of my old *crap* to find this...but it's
still a fine hobby that I might take up again one day (if my hands are
crushed and I can't hold my camera anymore!!!).
Thanks,

I don't get this hobby, what's fine about it?

Suprisingly enough, some people do not understand our hobby of photography.
To each his own. ;-)
