Another passion besides photography?
Photography is just one of my many passions. I adore designing jewelry, making collages, editing and otherwise playing with photoshop, Yoga is really great if I can force myself to do it regularly...traveling, which works well with both photography and modelling, kayaking with whales in the st. Lawrence, evesdropping on other peoples conversations and trying to figure out their life story, writing, dancing to music, eating good food, imbibing in various substances (in moderation of course) and all around rolling around in the cow pies in the pasture of life. Jan 02 06 08:32 pm Link My first passion is music. I was a semi-professional vocalist for a little over a year. I sang for a choral society in Oklahoma City. I write lyrics, but don't know enough piano to save my life, so most go unheard...lol. Also, I'm a pretty passionate Texas Hold 'em player. I've thought about making it on the WPT more than a few times. I'm also a very avid writer. Erotica, short stories, and I'm working on a novel/autobiography right now. I think if my life had gone differently, I'd either be a music teacher, or an english lit professor in the making.

However, due to arthritis and a bad back and such I am working on making photography my sole income. I am only 33 but it is all taking its toll and I think my days in the fast paced kitchens with strict deadlines are almost over. Jan 03 06 04:47 am Link In real life I split my time between being a recording engineer/record producer, touring musician and a research astronomer. Astronomy was my first love in life, which led to photography but along the way I ran into music. Strange..... Jan 03 06 04:47 am Link D. Brian Nelson wrote: Sure.

They take up almost all my spare time (and I love every minute of it!). However. . . other passions include all things artsy fartsy. I collect art, especially African art. Music fanatic. I am a electronic music expert, and had a radio show on the subject for several years. Now I collect fusion music from around the world. But unlike the talented people here. I don't play an instrument. Can't sing. Can't dance. I am really rather pathetic. Jan 03 06 09:33 am Link Thomas Oed wrote: Thomas... You charmer, you! Jan 03 06 09:34 am Link (not necessarily in this order) music: listening constantly as well as playing guitar and singing (r.i.p. my band, voice of a secret) dancing: house music/club dancing, swing, modern, anything but two-step and the boot-scoot boogie tae kwon do: the patterns and especially the sparring - getting ready for a tournament in april there are more, but these are definitely the top three. Jan 03 06 09:45 am Link I'm also a rock vocalist, voice-over talent and an artist/illustrator (everything from drawing, to painting, to sculpture and carving). I enjoy hiking, taiji, qigong, meditation, and love to dance. I also enjoy customizing classic cars and have a secret desire to race mini coopers.
