Photography.....woops!
MUSIC-
Guitar (at a high level, jazz, blues), mandolin (jazz), violin (classic swing jazz), Bass guitar (every guitar player can play a little bass)
SPORTS-
Cycling (takes most of my time and is everything from track biking to road racing), basketball (just for fun), swimming (but just in the winter off cycling season), running (same as swimming). i used to skateboard but havn't been out for awhile.
OTHER-
Run sound when needed for different things and record local small bands, Restore vintage cars, currently working on 2 vintage volkswagen beetles a 1955 and a 1965, toy around and invent things that do stuff so i don't have to do it and most times things that do nothing but are fun to mess with....a waste of energy, build up bikes to sell to have as extra fun around towners, read and absorb info for everything....(its turned into a hobbie but is more of a habbit).

thats all for me,

seems like alot when written out but its not so much really, music follows music and sport follows sport and other stuff keeps me from going nuts sitting in a chair infront of photoshop....

Could I suggest you try sailing ?

Then your hobbies will all look cheaper and you can feel better.


Definition of a sailboat : n. A hole in the water into which money is thrown.

hahaah! yup, sailing is right up there! I don't sail, but I have a little 20' speedboat. Lots of fun!

I have an audio recording studio. Sometimes I wish that I had cheaper hobbies. Last week I just bought a nice $3000 Taylor guitar. I looooove it!!! Another hobby of mine is 4-wheelers and motocrosses.

From the looks of ot Ed, you shot a bunch of speedball shots. Unfortunately, in NC speedball isnt as popular. Mainly, its all woodsball here. And there is always that one ass who will think your playing and cap you. i hate when that happens.

Other hobbies. Cycling, golf, wood sculpting, furiture repair and raced cars for over 32 years. The racing became more of a money pit than a hobbie. Got a little long-in-the-tooth to compete. So am a team manager/crewchief for a car/driver in Northeast tour(part time)

Now THAT's cool. I haven't seen many girls/women at the fields I used to play at.

P.S. Just sold my equipment. Costs to much and no good fields here in Colorado....except for one.


man a buddy of mine got me into it an i cant stop! theres 4 or 5 fields within drivign sistance here. we go all the time. im just too scared to take my camera along.

Well, if you know the game well enough, especially the lanes and angles players shoot, you can get some nice shots. Here are the very first photos I ever took with my 70-200. But, I was in a 'cherry picker' about 15ft in the air and 5 feet out of bounds. Maybe 1 day I'll get around to editing them again.

Boy, there's REALLY some diversity in what people like to do in their free time.

Genealogy, hiking..... sometimes hiking through cemeteries & taking photos of the headstones - that pretty much combines all 3 into one!
