What are your hobbies except photography ?

Derrel · Jan 10, 2013

My hobby is taking pictures. I love,love,love to take pictures!!! I take pictures at Goodwill.I take pictures at Deseret Industries. I take pictures in multiplex theatre hallways. I take pictures at fast food restaurants. I take pictures at hotels and convention centers. Wherever I can find a picture that's not nailed down (at least not really firmly) I always try and take the picture. I'm a pretty good runner, and have a really big jacket, so I can USUALLY outrun any employees or security guards, but mostly I just sneak out with the picture and then drive off really fast.

Yeah...I love to take pictures!!! A couple of weeks ago, I took a beautiful black velvet "Dogs Playing Poker" image--framed no less!!! A few years ago, I took a life-sized Angelina Jolie cut-out type poster from the movie Mr. And Mrs. Smith! Pretty sweet!!! I tell you, the manager at that place could run fast! But my car has remote keyless entry, so I had an advantage. :sexywink:

I wrote software for years but not so much anymore (BASIC, Visual BASIC, FORTRAN, Pascal, C, C++, assembler)

Ahhh, the good old days, when men were men and a good piece of code could fubar a computer in a flash

You got that right! Hog the message queue on a 16-bit Windows machine and it was yours until you let it go. Write a few bytes to protected memory with assembler and watch it warm-boot. Good times

Are we doing the Dukes of Hazard getaway XD?

Aside from programming (currently tinkering with COBOL), networking, science and engineering, physics, reading, and a splish splash of photography, I love weightlifting ((O.O))

I have had a lot of different hobbies - but the only ones I currently do are photography & lock picking/lock pick making (sometimes just making the picks is as much fun as using them). I still have all of my 'stuff' from my other hobbies - maybe I'll pick it back up one day, lol.

Stuff I used to do, but haven't in a while:
Astronomy (I'd like to get a better telescope, but I have a ton of nice lenses...)
4 Wheeling (sold my Jeep, so it may be a while before I get back into this)
Model Building (mostly WWII tanks & planes)
Target Shooting & Reloading
Guitar

Hmmmm. Hobbies.....nope, I got nothing. I'll tell you my wife's hobbies though: buying clothes, buying shoes, buying unnecessarily expensive clothes and toys for our son, yelling, shopping, spending time spending money, and pretending she can cook then buying expensive take out. Oh, and not procreating.

I'm forced to live vicariously through her, although I find her hobbies

So I guess my other hobby would be financing her hobbies. Good deal!

I like to avoid debating religion and politics and then eventually debating it anyways.

I also like video games, and gadgets in general.

I don't care that I don't "need" a certain tech. I just want it because it's so darn cool haha.

I play volleyball. During the winter I play women's 6's and during the summer I play women's doubles.

I also enjoy hiking, geocaching, kayaking, and video games.

I have been working several years 7 days a week to start a distribution company, so hobby is rather new to me. I could say that now my hobbies are playing with my grand-sons, photography and gardening. Wherever I went in my life, I have planted flowers, more flowers, and some trees from seeds and from cuttings. Noble trees such as oak, elm, buckeye, chestnut, mountain ash etc.

My husband operates an organic farm with 3 greenhouses, a chicken coop, hay fields and an acre of vegetables, the maple grove keeps us busy when it's time to boil the syrup at the sugar shack. We have a big forested land to walk, clean-up and explore with a camera. I love art and did a little bit of painting.
Once all that is done, browsing the internet is nice and curling up in my bed to read is heaven.

I am surprised to see how many people posting here are into technology. I will know where to ask for technical assistance!

Bass fishing, shooting pool, firing range and teaching my wife and son self defense.

Building and flying RC planes. Mountain biking. But photography seems to take up the most of my spare time.

So I guess no one liked my joke. My hobbies for real:
Creating complex designs that I'll never build
ANYTHING automotive
Building 4 internet based businesses
Playing with my son, because he's cool.
