Do you have any other hobbies???

[TamiAz]

I'm just curious how many of you have hobbies other than photography...Cake decorating used to be my passion until I started teaching and had no extra time..It's a time consuming hobby. I'm finding photography is a great creative outlet for me and I'm loving it. I love the challenge of learning something new..


Here's a couple photos of my cakes...Yes, I realize the pictures aren't the greatest!!

My favorite hobby.

It would be easier to list the things that aren't "hobbies" and I don't have enough time for all my hobbies. I just love doing everything. LOL


I like making cakes too. Not really good at it, but I still love doing it.

I look for ET.

If I find him, I'll be sure to take a pix.

I also like to kill paper & wood.

And being an electrician by trade, I also collect old Electric Codes.

And well as electricians' handbooks:

Gardening & woodworking. I have built most of the non-upholstered furniture in our house that I designed, drafted the plans for & finished from closing.

I am a huge fan of anything outdoors....geocaching, camping, hunting, and fishing, are my favorites. I used to be huge into woodworking, but I recently moved a thousand miles for work, and my wood shop sits unused at the moment. Right now being away from "home" I do allot of hiking and exploring my new area, camera always in hand.

I ride sportbikes, camping, target shooting, drawing/sketching (haven't done this for a while), and snowboarding...

Old pix from my sportbike days...

My last zombie hunting trip in an undisclosed location, California.

I hang out with crazy people once in a while..

Boy Scouts, and all the stuff scouts do--I've been involved since my kids were cub scout age. My youngest quit before he quite made it to first class, but the oldest got his Eagle rank in May 2009...best moment of my life, so far. I stopped going after that, but then one of my former cub scout boys asked me to come back and help him get Eagle, so I did. He just earned his Eagle about a month ago, and I was almost as proud of him as I was of my own son.
Now, I kind of "specialize" in taking our boys that have reached first class and mentoring them to help them make Eagle.

I'm also the leader of our Women's Ministry at church, and I have a speaking ministry where I go to other women's event and do different sorts of presentations.

And I teach Sunday School.
After 3 years of being in choir without a CLUE what I was doing (got roped into going with a friend--I didn't even really know what a "pitch" was, but I was pretty sure that I wasn't ON one...not the right one anyway...), I started also taking music lessons from our music minister, and I love it!

If only my job didn't get in the way of all that...

Besides photography, I'm really into mountain biking, although I don't have any good photos of it as I'm yet to go out and set up a remot camera to photograph myself riding. I do about 25 endurance races per year, and love every second of the pain. Something about finishing something you didn't think you'd be able to is amazing. Attempting my first 100 mile mountain bike race in the spring. Between this and photography, I never have any extra cash to do anything lol

I'm also a volunteer firefighter, and almost done with my EMT class. We run about 400 calls per year, and 90% of them are EMS calls, so I figure being a medic will be helpful. Not exactly a hobby, but I enjoy it.

I took up archery as a hobby about four years ago, but after a year I started to take it more seriously. Since then I've made the national squad and have represented New Zealand at several overseas tournaments. It's a fantastic sport and gives you a great excuse to travel across the country and further afield.

This is me competing at the Open Nationals at the start of the year, if you look closely you can see the arrow departing the scene.

And this is my current setup:

It's not quite as hard on the wallet as photography, but it's not far off if you're rocking the top end gear.

Besides pretending I can take pictures, I'm an avid cyclist (roughly 50 miles anytime i can get out), searching the stars for something fun to see with my kids.

here is my scope with camera (go figure)

Love the thread idea! It's a good reminder that there are real people behind these posts, and not just computer robots that will answer your every question about photography

I have played violin since I was very young, and I play piano for mass at our parish. I probably focus a lot more on violin playing than anything else, including photography, but I also do a lot of knitting, and studying of philosophy/theology and history... oh and I looove cooking. =) And for about the past 6 years or so, my hubby and I have played WoW together on the weekends.... *hides*
