Whyd you choose photo collecting?

Of course, art is always in the eye of the beholder.....

For all the reasons stated above but mainly because they represent a moment in history that is "Frozen in Time".

A little over a year ago, I was steered to this site by other collectors as I was doing a relative a favor and researching some original photos he obtained. I knew nothing about this newer collectible field of press photos, so I had many questions, and you all responded, some helped a lot. Over the past months that followed, I could see and feel the passion that you all have in this area of collecting. The more I've learned, the more I could feel that same passion. Just re-read what has been written on this thread, and you can feel how much you-- ALL-- really care about press photos. Some years ago I collected cards, but the personal feeling I get about press photos, I did not get that same feeling for cards.
I have only purchased a few so far, but that collection will grow because I can now see what you describe.
So why do I collect, it is all your fault......................and thank you.

By the way, the wife thanks you too..........lol.......yea right!
