I am a single, retired 80 year old man, having lived in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I have been collecting pins for about 10 years. I like the cute ones, and sometimes try to collect a set of cute ones, and other times I will just choose to collect only a few from a set because I don't like some in that set. I have put many of my pins in large pin collecting books which were sold years ago by Disney. Some pins I have on lanyards that hang on the walls in two rooms of my apartment. Photography is another hobby.
