Hi everyone. My name is Kevin. I found a love for playing cards in kind of a strange way. For years I have been a watch collector and watch photographer. I’ve always enjoyed taking photos of watches with objects, backgrounds and textures. Somewhere along the way I began to enjoy taking photos of watches with playing cards as a backdrop or element in the frame. I just loved all the details and soon wanted to branch out from just the run of the mill Walgreens Bicycle deck. So I started to see what else was out there. That’s when I became away for the wide world of playing cards. I thought a few backs a few years back but had a couple kids since then and all interests were put on hold. Lately, however I’ve gotten back into playing cards and photography.
I have a small and modest collections so far. Here’s my collection on PlayingCardHub.

Excited to learn more about playing cards and some of the artists and makers out there.

Hi Kevin from another one. I think I must be on the spectrum because I cannot handle the Timex watch on that angle instead of the 3 at three o'clock
KoD - my initials, no wonder I grew up a lover of playing cards
