Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)

I collect art, mostly primitive and whimsical paintings and some sculpture (not outsider art). I used to collect wine but no longer drink, so now I collect kitchen/cooking stuff. Right now its old Descoware, enamel covered cast iron cookware. Before that it was French advertising bar ware. I also cruise thrift shops for music (which is part of this hobby) and have had a good week so far with almost twenty additions for less than $20.00. I guess that I enjoy hunting for things that I do not have to kill.

Eldragon, nice site. Being a fine arts major, and a painter as well, please visit my photographic site: albertporterphoto.com my images are protected by a new technology (I am part of the beta team) please allow about one min. for the free software to load from Alchemedia. Thanks, Albert

Albert, I live in Dallas and have seen many photos of downtown, but yours is the coolest. Excellent work, great colour. Riding down the freeways, I love gazing at the skyline. I also paint, and although I've had offers, I can't seem to let any of the paintings go. I play tennis too.

Paragliding: open, airy, smooth, beautiful, relaxed "floating lounge-chair" pace or aerobatic crescendo (whichever suits me at the time), the pure sound of wind in my lines, the soothing feel of wind on my face, and always exhilarating.

Great thread. I enjoy hikimg in the mountains, taking flyimg lessons, ancient history, chess, shooting pool, and working in my wood shop. There are so many great things to do and learn that you never seem to have time to do them all.
