In addition to photography, I like to...

Guitar for me as well. I'm down to five of them now though.

Some painting, some drawing, and collecting these guys:

I pick locks (I also make lock picks). I used to play a little guitar, but I was never very good at it, or I just didn't give it enough time. Anyway, I sort of lost interest in it...

These days, I take pictures of my guitar more often than I play it, lol.

Krav Maga, boxing, weightlifting, reading, computing

I play volleyball. The doubles season is just about to begin and I play women's 6s in the winter.

...rescue old furniture. Some items I restore and others I repurpose. I've sold a few things but I do it because I enjoy seeing the results. Just started working on a desk for my daughter. It's slow going since I don't have much free time!

I play guitar, but prefer to play bass. I have an Ibanez Soundgear 5 string bass and a Nashville acoustic guitar. I also love my 3 dogs, and have 2 donkeys that I am working on getting in to harness.

I like to explore new places, read, and fish.
I had to edit my post to include playing the piano! How could I forget that one.

For a while, the only thing I did in my spare time was, well, photography.

I've recently gotten back to picking up my guitar, and I'm rediscovering how much I enjoy playing.

Oh, and here 'tis:

:shock: :shock: :shock: That is beautiful. What model is that? I love my DX1. It's a low end Martin...but it's a Martin and the sound is amazing!

It's a 1986 Alvarez-Yairi DY-66. I got it in '87...

SING.

In addition to photography, I provide shelter for photons from orphan stars. Most days, I practice molecular tranformation , although I draw the line on elemental transmutation. On even days, I practice karmic sensing of Near-Earth asteroids (need more practice, as I totally missed the Cheliabinsk bolide), and on odd days, I work on the ability to move continents (today, the Eurasian plate is 0.6mm further away from the North American plate). I also practice the art of infrasound singing (which my wife mistakes for a rumbling stomach). From time to time, I indulge in time travel (my best to date, unaided, was 2.1 million year), but I haven’t yet mastered the acceleration of the time arrow to go into the future (it gets “here” at the same time as for everyone else).

On weekends, I do my part in encouraging selective evolution, and a reduction in plant entropy. Occasionally, there’s time to put the Archimede’s principle to test in various naturally-occuring bodies of water. However, on stormy days, I work on collecting pixels and arranging them into pleasing patterns.

Play guitar a bit and paint, draw, Paint, PAINT, PAINT...

Wait..... What?!?! There's things other than photography? When did this happen?

 

[Stacylouwho]

I love to fish, ride horses, swim, read (only self help), I also refurbish old furniture pieces, hike, hunt but rarely get the chance anymore, I also sell Scentsy which is more of a Hobby for me.

I'm a women's ministry event speaker. I lead retreats, do single-event presentations, that sort of thing. That and photography take up 99% of my "spare time" as well as some of the time I should be sleeping, lol.

I do also sing in our church choir. I'm horrible, but I love it, and somehow, our music minister not only puts up with me, but seems to enjoy having me in choir. Gives everyone else an immediate "bar" that they KNOW they are better than at least one other person there, I suppose. :lmao: When I first started, it was only to get someone else (who had a beautiful voice) to go. Then I decided to stick with it and asked my music minister to help me, because I didn't even know what a pitch WAS never mind whether I was "on it." He said, "very, very few people are really tone deaf." I said, "oh, I'm NOT Tone deaf--I can HEAR myself being awful!"

I used to do calligraphy; made a decent bit of money from it. The essential hand tremors limit my ability to do that anymore. I also used to do polymer clay jewelry and frame accents, scrapbooking and probably some other crafty kinda stuff. But photography is WAY more fun.
