Put a digital camera in some people’s hands, and they start collecting some pretty weird things.

We admit it’s a bit silly, but we adore Gert Rietveld’s Running from Camera.

His rules are simple: Put the self-timer on 2 seconds, push the button, and try to get as far from the camera as you can.

The results are expectedly goofy and surprisingly awesome.

We also love Nick Gray’s collection of paper towel dispensers, Kate Bingaman’s collection of everything she bought for two whole years, and Adam Seifer’s collection of every meal he’s eaten since October 2002.

What’s your goofy photo collection?
