ffeathered asked: i want your photos on my wall

jordynmyah asked: I collect books. I love the stories they contain. Books let me step out of my life for a moment and live in someone else's. Sometimes I just need to exist in a world outside of this one for a time. And it's not just the stories, but the words themselves that I love. Words paint pictures, but for me, words also are the picture. I love seeing the different ways they can be arranged on the...

robertgrahamphotography asked: I forgot probably my most interesting collection. Photos of important Karate Instructors. As I photograph for Seibukan Karate Club who regularly play host to some of the biggest names in the karate world from Japan and elsewhere, I have ended up with a small, but still growing, collection of photos of them.
spudsbyshan asked: I love that you are posting what people collect so I started asking my friends what they collect. My bud Emily responded, "Besides the shattered egos of the men I date?" I decided I am going to start collecting my friend's responses to your question.
epicleicaness asked: I collect film cameras. Mechanical film cameras. No digital crap. I have eleven so far and I stopped to save money, but know for sure it's gonna get bigger.

auxiliofaux asked: I collect artifacts and literature pertaining to Los Angeles history. A vintage photo of Orange Groves circa 1920's crossing from Hollywood to the valley, Photos of early pueblos that once laid where the Dodger Stadium now resides. A guilty pleasure that I won't ever let go aside from LA writers would have to be science-fiction writings. turn into a 10 year old whenever a Dashiel Hammet...

justyesjustno asked: I collect stones from the ocean whenever I visit Vancouver, and the rest of the time I collect National Geographics from the height of the cold war era, and old sweaters that I find interesting.
j-appleseed asked: I'm a sad (happy!) boot and coat whore. 4 coats and jackets in the last 5 months. You know, it's a preparedness thing... i keep telling myself. I am ready for menacing LOOKING weather to drizzle to light rain to intermittent showers to heavy rain to freezing rain to rain/snow winter mix to crazynotseenindecades brutal sideways winter. I think there's room in there for a couple...

miyaaw asked: Postcards. No, I do not collect postcards. Rather, your photos remind me of them. There is a likeness of something quite controlled, calm and collected, but just as breath taking.
kleshnev asked: I collect postcards. Both from galleries that feature artists' work and from all around the world. I visit a fair share of galleries and my father travels a fair bit so he helps my collection grow. I love the images mostly but also the print, the style of the lines and the written message/ lack of it.
ydlim-senoirb asked: My father collected plane tickets because my grandfather was a pilot. I began collecting the part of a plane ticket that contains the flight information. My father’s career allows him to travel so much that I have tickets from all around the world. My favorite is a Singapore Airline ticket, it’s green and colorful, and my favorite non-flight ticket is an Eiffel Tower ticket I kept when...

jamiedrew asked: I collect notebooks, I guess. It wasn't intentional; I don't compulsively go out and buy them. One day I'll go to write in the thing and find out it's full, and then I have to go out and buy another one, which isn't exactly fun. I don't see the point in luxuries, except in this area. I allow myself a plain-black ruled Moleskine. I'm not a brand whore. I can quit...

eles-eyes:
The very gentle Christian has been curating other people’s collections while I was away, which means I get to read about them all in one go. I remember he ‘collected’ people’s last sunsets some time ago. They’re tiny snippets, but the responses are lovely to read.
Myself, I collect mice and elephant figurines. I find it funny that I gravitated towards very small and very large...
lamlux asked: I collect people's forgotten cameras, whether at a thrift store, or a flea market, garage sales, or estate sales, I try to understand each camera I pick up. How they might've been used, their historical references.. It helps me relate myself in our current world to what we are becoming. I then usually will try to find them new homes where they'll be enjoyed once again. The joy of...
agnessamour asked: I collect stamps on my passport. I love the idea that such a small thing reprensents so many things, sweet memories and new people. I also collect second hand books and photography books.

I know I’ve mentioned Loïc today but he’s really a great guy that you should check out his work.
It was a great pleasure doing this print exchange and sale with him.

titlecase asked: I collect animal heads. Not in the gross way you may think, but in the vintage porcelain, knickknack, tchotchke kind of way. I have some pretty awesome finds!

From a brother in Mexico
I received this beautiful suite of photographs from my great and talented friend, Alejandro Campos Herrera.
His work doesn’t really need any introduction because his vision is unique just as he is as a friend. He captures the landscapes of Puebla and Oaxaca, Mexico in a way that is very contemplative, as if he has been studying the land and had been there for ages and is telling you to...
appealtoemulsion asked: I used to collect baseball cards. Then I began collecting CD's; I stopped at 630, and sold off a bunch to get into photography. With new cameras, I began collecting nymphettes to photograph in high key. That worked well until it played out and I ran out of friends to photograph. I now collect pictures of beer bottles. I have 3 dozen in my collection, and another 3 dozen that I have yet to...
j-appleseed asked: Hey, with this last solar flare there's going to be outstanding Northern lights across the North and you are in a prime spot to possibly get quite a show. A late night drive to somewhere really dark might be worth your while! Thought you should know.

erictearle asked: With only shooting film I guess it's safe to say I collect negatives! The year of 2011 saw me develop 39 rolls of 36 exposures, so around 1400 singal negatives. Over 3 years I'm pushing 4000 singal negatives. If i continue to shoot consistantly, it could be a nice legacy to leave behind
craighellings asked: I collect (take without permission) pint glasses from pubs and I also collect empty alcohol bottles because I love the taste of Corona in my belly button.
