"I started visiting movie locations because they were something that had always intrigued me. I mean, how neat would it be to stand in the exact same spot of one of your favorite scenes from one of your favorite movies you'd seen on the screen countless times? And since I couldn't be there when it was shot, I figured this was the next best thing," Paul shared with Bored Panda.
When Paul began documenting the locations he visited on his website, it was mainly as a way to archive them, like a digital scrapbook he could look back on. He never set out to become famous or gain widespread recognition; that was never the goal. "Almost everyone collects something, whether it be baseball cards, comic books, vinyl records, etc. I collect movie locations, and for me, it's all about the memories. Since it's not a physical possession, documenting all of the locations I've visited and looking back at them whenever I feel the need allows me to instantly remember that particular moment in time when I was there and the experience I had. I like to say that I collect memories, not things."
