All given as gifts. Or rather, family and friends never allow me to keep anything long enough to display. My kids are showing great talent in many artistic forms as well.nice
You know I am going to ask you to show us your work.
I liked to accumulate watches and pocket knives in the past, but do not have enough to really call either of these accumulations a collection.
As I had to observe, that many classic old movies are neither to stream online nor any longer produced on DVD, I kind of startet collecting DVDs some years ago.

Collecting, besides pipes and tobacco that would be books.
Although I buy books as a reader more than a bibliophile so the whole business of first editions etc is lost on me.
I like knives too but it is hardly a collection.

For me it's always been just a peaceful way to relax and pass time. I truly hope that they do something with it.

art is essential even if you never share your work or even if it's no good.
I live in Germany, so I don't know the situation in the US, but over here, a lot of early Hitchcock movies are no longer available new. Also do I like older French films for example by Claude Chabrol or the Spanish director Luis Buñuel...
you can't really own a book till you've read it. In my opinion.
I love all of that; Bunuel is my favorite director of all time; I have most of his movies. What is your favorite? I have Susana here which I will watch soon.
OOh yeah I bought the Black Shadows complete first series box set. It's like 300 and some dollars and worth every penny. Seriously one of the best shows ever. It's like a really long complex episode of the Twilight Zone in many ways.
Yes Buñuel was one of a few who really revolutionized cinema. I have yet to see Susana. Los Olvidados is definitely a favourite of mine among his earlier work, But I also really like his later films, like The Phantom of Liberty for example...
I don't collect as such. Whenever someone in our family died we somehow inherited all their shit. Since I am the last living 'Condor Lover' I seem to have amassed an amazing collection of stuff. I put a lot into storage after my Mother passed on so the house could be rented which I will sort through when I return to the U.K permanently. It seems we as a family never threw anything away and we seemed to collect houses, farm land, books and just about anything else. I seem to have enough WW1 kit to equip a modest sized small army, enough 1930 motorcycle spare parts to keep several British bikes on the road. Enough regalia from several British 1930's political movements to film a reasonable PBS production. Hence my pipe collecting since at least thats small compared to the size of my yearly storage bill. George Carlin had a great speech about 'stuff' and I really think he had a point!
