You may know that I collect postcards. I love to send them and receive them.
The first postcard I bought to start my collection was a postcard of the Hollywood sign. I was in Los Angeles back in 1991, and I really wanted to take a close–up picture of the giant letters, but I couldn’t get close enough. So I figured postcard photographers probably got a better shot that I could ever hope to get.
Then I started telling everyone I knew that I was collecting postcards, in hopes they would send me one on their travels. And here’s my current collection:
I have so many wonderful postcards from all over the world!
Here’s my newest collection, all postcards from my sister over the past two years, which don’t fit in this cigar box anymore.
I don’t typically collect anything because I don’t like clutter or having too much stuff, but I really cherish these collections.
I’m hoping to turn some of my own photographs into postcards, which is great incentive to spend more time experimenting and improving my photography.
Do you collect anything?
