Collections are fun, I like pictures of different things, but not normal pictures I would say. Funny how a still photograph can stop things and they look very different, quite amazing to me. I have a small collection in the basement, probably less than 100, but there are some cool pics out there. I do not understand autograph collections. Some historical autographs would be cool, but John Lennon does nothing for me, and I don’t see any value in them for the most part.

I just recently started collecting some stuff and for some reason I’m hooked with Disney’s Narnia! Stuff from the first movie- The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. Books, bookmarks, games, magazines, etc. I don’t really know what to do with it but I am still collecting more and with the new movie coming up, I’m sure looking forward to get more! Yes, you guys are right, it is the thrill of finding a new one to add to your collection :-)

I collect dust. I keep it on most of the surfaces in my apartment. Sometimes I consolidate it all in a duster, but then I let it build up again. :-)

Recaptcha is quahog 1964. I suppose that’s a reminder that people also collect shells.

I used to collect rocks. Any that i found that were unusual looking, different colors, textures. Also, rocks from different vacations I took as a child. That was a great collection.

I have a couple hundred bouncy balls.
I keep them in large glass jars.
Most still bounce.
And you might be surprised at the variety in size and shape.

Celebrated celebrity collector, Andy Warhol, collected stuff, lots of stuff. The highlight of the archives collection of the Andy Warhol Museum is his Time Capsules. This serial work, spanning a thirty-year period from the early 1960s to the late 1980s, consists of 610 standard sized cardboard boxes, which Warhol, beginning in 1974, filled, sealed and sent to storage. Warhol used these boxes to manage the bewildering quantity of material that routinely passed through his life.

Photographs, newspapers and magazines, fan letters, business and personal correspondence, art work, source images for art-work, books, exhibition catalogues, and telephone messages, along with objects and countless examples of ephemera, such as announcements for poetry readings and dinner invitations, were placed on an almost daily basis into a box kept conveniently next to his desk
