Hobbies anyone?

[diegoff]

So, I know a similar thread was created many years ago, but I was wondering which hobby (if any) do you have to spend your free time. I'd like to ask you this, now that many years have gone by and most of us have kids and all the family stuff and compromises. And, to be honest, to have perhaps some inspiration, because I'd like to try something new and/or creative.
To add my 2 cents, I recently took an online course of Adobe Photoshop to play around with photographs I take. Besides that, listen to some music, and some time for meditation.

HTML has been a hobby of mine for a few years, then it turned into a job.

Then art, definitely a hobby (I don't have a collection, of course, I just read books)

Finally, military models, tanks in particular.

Re: Hobbies anyone?

I have also turned hobbies into jobs. I have had two careers, photography and furniture restoration. Both started as hobbies.


Music is my biggest hobby.

Re: Hobbies anyone?

Music is more than just a hobby for me. Too bad that the music blog/site linked to Soundcloud (70.000 followers, baby!) with Chunky never happened.

A side interest that can count as a hobby is rediscovering the prog rock bands of my teen years .

Re: Hobbies anyone?

photography is 1/2 my income now, so no longer a hobby.

modifying my car is a fun hobby, expensive though (bmw)

this may sound strange but been enjoying a bit of bird watching lately, not formally, just fun watching eagles, hawks, finches, cardinals, what have you - do what they do

enjoying participating in my 6 yr olds hobbies - bmx, baseball... lacrosse pretty soon

Re: Hobbies anyone?

Besides music, i believe wine can qualify as a hobby.. read and most importantly, drink a lot of it


A few weeks back i´ve been in Mendoza again (best place for wine in the country) and damn was game changer for me.. Disney if you want

I haven't done any paid photography for over twenty years. I used film cameras When I did do it it was entertainment industry orientated. movie stills , actors head shots etc, and sometimes music events , but they were as much for my pleasure. But my true love was the darkroom, you really got be creative in a way that just brought out the best of a shot without using anything fake. There was real skill involved. And I was bloody good at it. !! I also taught darkroom .

I gave that up with digital era, I just didn't enjoy it anymore. I have a Nikon dslr and a leica point and shoot , but harder ever use them. I actually dream about being back in the darkroom . I loved it. !!

Lucky I had always restored furniture literally since I was a kid, it was my second career and I do that now. It's the ultimate in recycling and can be incredibly rewarding. Most of my life I have been self employed.

Btw I have taken a camera to dance events , but I only want to dance. !! And I want to do as much of that as I possibly can !!

I don't like digital cameras. Look up some of the amazing old hollywood star pics taken with an old hassleblad . They are magnificent.
