Park Life

This is a photograph of an area of woodland in Battersea Park, London, a place I used to frequent as a child.  I have fond memories of exploring/playing in this particular area with family/friends and squirrel watching there - I loved squirrels as a youngster and used to call them all 'Bushy' because of their bushy tails.  This is something me and my family still joke about until this day.  I still visit this area of Battersea Park occasionally now that I am older.  It is funny because I remember the rocky woodland area seeming so much bigger and much more adventurous as a child.   I am glad that my family exposed me to the great outdoors when I was younger, which is something I still appreciate now.  It's good to get out for park walks! 

JD

This is a photograph of a JD sports bag, which represents one of my favourite sports shop ever!  I love to browse/shop in JD stores as they offer current, stylish and often exclusive clothing, sportswear and accessory products which are very appealing to young people my age.  JD is a trusted brand which I would describe as fun, fresh, fashionable and fierce, all of which are relatable to me as a 17 year old.   

Shard

This is a photograph of the famous Shard Hotel - an iconic, 95-storey skyscraper, in Southwark, London which is a building I absolutely love!  It took four years to construct and I have been wanting to visit the Shard since it opened in 2013, to experience the ultimate, fantastic views on offer of London/Kent.  For one reason or another, the visit hasn't happened to date, but I am determined that 2016 will be my visiting year - who knows I may even be able to convince my parents to treat me to a fancy lunch there!

COD III

I am a big gamer and love to relax and chill out by playing my X-Box and connecting with friends via X-Box live.  This is a photograph of my favourite game, 'Call of Duty Black Ops III'.  The game offers distinct experiences and multi-player options which increases enjoyability.  I also have a keen interest in games design and as quite a creative person, would one day like to learn more about the games industry and how such fun and interactive games are made from scratch.

Million Man

This is a photograph of my all time favourite aftershave - 'Paco Rabanne 1 Million.'  I was first bought a bottle of this aftershave a few years ago for Christmas and have been using it ever since. Described as having top notes of grapefruit, blood orange/rose, spiced with cinnamon and mint, the fresh, spicy and leather fragrance certainly doesn't disappoint - I absolutely love it and am yet to meet anyone who doesn't!   As somebody with sensitive skin who has previously suffered with eczema, I also like that this fragrance doesn't irritate my skin.  I genuinely believe it is a good quality product, and whilst a bit pricey is well worth the money.   As a maturing young man, my image is really important to me and 'Million' helps me to to feel good and smell great! 

Berry Boy

This is a simple photograph of one of my favourite drinks, Ribena, which comes in various flavours such as blackcurrent, strawberry, blueberry and orange.  Blackcurrant Ribena is the flavour I enjoy most as it is tasty and refreshing.  I really enjoy drinking Ribena in the summer months with lots of ice.  The Ribena brand is of English origin which was first introduced back in 1938 and although initially having a strong reputation for being a healthy, vitamin C packed product for children, the brand's reputation was later tarnished by a series of scandals concerning high sugar content and questionable amounts of fruit in its products.  Despite this, it still remains one of my favourite drink choices and a lucrative brand which is successfully/cleverly promoted by a number of enjoyable, media advertisement campaigns.

F&B

This is a photograph of one of my favourite restaurants - Frankie & Benny's, which is a New York-Italian 1950s themed diner.  The restaurant offers delicious, reasonably priced meals and offers a really pleasant/relaxed dining experience with warm mood lighting.  I enjoy the classic American 1950s pop music the restaurant plays, which although being a bit 'cheesy',  creates a nice sing- a-long opportunity which my family are always more than happy to engage in.  This often results in a great atmosphere and lots of family fun and laughter.  I have celebrated a number of special occasions at Frankie & Benny's, such as birthdays and anniversaries and have also had the embarrassment of being subjected to 'happy birthday' serenades Frankie and Benny's style, presented by staff members that usually results in the entire restaurant singing along!   

This photograph is taken of a new branch of Frankie and Benny's in the Southside Shopping Centre, in Wandsworth, London.  I recently visited the new branch with my mum whilst out shopping and for the first time tried the breakfast menu which was pretty impressive - the New York Savoury Waffle (a cinnamon waffle topped with BBQ sauce, bacon and melted cheese) comes highly recommended - a strange but delicious concoction!
