capocheny Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Greetings, <p> Other than photography.... like Ole, I'm big into wines (especially collectible reds from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa, and Australian). Life is too short to drink bad wines! <p> Also collect fountainpens... Montblanc, Pelikan, Perchins, etc <p> Along with good wines...I also LOVE great food! NOTHING like great food, great wines, and, of course, great friends! <p> Great topic Kevin - Thanks <p> Cheers <p> Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McCreery Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 More or less in order: wife and daughter, powder skiing, kayaking, hikeing (with and without view camera), windsurfing, astronomy, bicycling, skate skiing, telemark skiing, non-powder downhill skiing, metal sculpture, listening to classical music and jazz (I can't play a note), reading (especially books on modern physics), finding time to do all this in a contemplative manner which is basically impossible so I must cut back my activities any day now but what could I possibly give up without an extreme sense of loss?

david_goldfarb Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I also play the guitar--mostly classical, but my main instrument is the trombone--mostly classical and jazz, but increasingly more eclectic world-music kinds of things, like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000508LJ/ref%3Drm%5Fitem/102-3242969-9256967">this band</a>, which defined the genre of "dub-country" (I'm on tracks 1, 6, and 9).

per_volquartz1 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Is there anything else than photography??? (OK, OK - my wife, my Dachshund, my friends, good Pyro and good Wine - and throw in a couple of good olives now and then!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_calwell Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Bicycles (I'd like to have a recumbent too) and playing half-assed jazz on our beat up old Kimbell piano. But what I really want is a Hammond B3. I'd like to see Jimmy Smith in concert someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick_morris Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Movies-Kieslowski, Almodovar, the Andersons, Wes and P.T., Cohen brothers, David Lynch, Altman, etc.; music-play at guitar, folk, jazz, classical ;books- currently Haissen, and Hillary Clinton. However, almost all free time, of which there is too little, goes to photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max_wendt Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Wow - lots of musicians here. I play the saxophone (mainly jazz). Photography is really my other obsession to my music (although I guess they're both "hobbies" since I have a "real" job), but lately it's been getting more time (just built a Bender 8x10). I also enjoy making pizza dough/bread. I like to grind the wheatberries into flour right when I want to bake. (I started doing this shortly after I started developing B&W - I guess it kicked off a sort of "I want to do that myself" thing...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_ito Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Guitar (photo junkies translate well into guitar junkies :^p), backpacking, billiards, mountain biking, snowboarding. Anyone notice that there are a lot of astronomers here too? I guess it's the lens thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygzr Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 Cool, lots of musicians! I forgot to mention earlier, electric bass is my main instrument (Yamaha 5 string, Danelectro longhorn re-issue and Fernandez 8 string). I have a heavily modified Telecaster that I wish I knew how to play better. I�ll sit behind the drums when the drummer is out for a smoke break (one TWO three FOUR). The band I play with is, um, eclectic. I call it �punk Calypso� if some asks me to put it in a category. Lots of astronomers, too. We�re lens junkies, no doubt about it.

brian_ellis3 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Collecting windshield wiper motors from 1956 Renaults; playing the dulcimer; reading old Sears Roebuck catalogs; riding my Cushman motor scooter in downtown Miami during rush hour with my ex-wife on the handlebars. P.S. to those who find this thread more interesting than how to meter a spot tailed deer. You're in the wrong group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffrey_scott Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Oh no! Not another musician! Actually I've been playing music a lot longer than I have been into photography. I play bass semi-professionally and also guitar and dulcimer (plucked). If you'd like to see and hear what I do musically check out my band's website www.rareblend.net.
