Guitars, but each of the 4 I have so far cost less than the cheapest of my L lenses.


Too much stuff, not enough shooting time.

Canon T4i (2 lenses), Fuji X100s, Olympus OM-D EM-1 (3 lenses)

Newbie here,
I have always like photography, but it has not been my obsession until recently. My dad loved photography and he was just getting going again when he passed away a couple weeks ago. Now I feel that I want to get into it more.

My main obsession has been woodworking. I have built an entire bedroom set and various other pieces of furniture. I also like taking my Jeep offroad, but that is going to get slid to the side I think.

Scrapbooking is a huge hobby of mine (luckily, it goes hand in hand with photography!)

My other obsession is my black lab :) Oh, and my husband too.

I have a crazy record collection. As in the big round vinyl things that went out of fashion a little after I was born. What can I say?.. I discovered them in Jr. High with my best friend we spent hours with her mom's record player that we found out was a record player when she spilled a pop on it. Hours later we had discovered the Doors, Tanya Tucker, Louie Armstrong and a bunch of other vinyls that were hidden away. I was hooked. As of now my collection is in the thousands, I have two record players and one very old upright Vitrola player that I don't have anything to play on it. But, I wanted it. But, it's pretty cheap the majority of my collection has been given to me by older generations and it's the hunt that I love. Finding a stash of records in some out of the way thrift store for maybe fifty cents a piece and then going home and finding out that there not scratched to hell and back. And there's nothing better than Puccini and Vivaldi on vinyl. if you haven't tried it your missing out.

oh, and books.. but that's another story.

I don't know that I call it an obsession, but I love to play disc golf. I don't think anyone had listed that one yet :)

Fabric... I sew. Well, I haven't sewn much this winter because I'm taking a break waiting for my sewing room to be done... but my sewing room may become a photography studio at this point. :D Actually, it seems like a fairly mild hobby, but fabric costs can really add up!

Radio Controlled helicopters cars and trucks, replica firearms, video games, my two shiba Inus, and learning, I really like to learn new things.

I keep all my not so glamorous photos in my photobucket, lots of gun pics, rc pics and dog pics with the point and shoot.

Drawing comics of varying styles. Mere doodles, really, but it's fun.


I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.
