Family - I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful daughters whom I consider to be my biggest treasures and primary focus, however when I have my time out, I have two other hobbies besides computing, these are:

Photography - Film and digital, I have a rather expensive selection of Nikon and Yashica cameras and insanely exspensive selection of lenses to go with them. I love ultrawide landscapes so eventually, i'll probably ditch all my digital and 35mm gear and buy myself a large format view camera, just like the good old days.

Music and DJ'ing - In my younger years, I was a pro DJ and I still love putting together a selection of music for others to enjoy. I will pretty much listen to anything, however, I do have a real distaste for these modern manufactured "artists" the record companies keep churning out. I really love 60-70's hard British Rock, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath to name a few. I also love 80-90's Pop and I have a rather large collection of 12" singles that represent this.

I've not, however, Deep Purple never really did much for me anyway. As I did say though, I will listen to pretty much anything, Beethoven included.

Cars used to be a bit of a hobby for me when I was younger.
Hm, LEGO used to be a hobby of me when I was (alot :-() younger... Strange foreigners :lol:


The very mention of LEGO just reminded me that recently I began the process of restoring my childhood LEGO to its former glory. I was amazed at how dusty and yellow some of it had become, now I'm stripping it all down and giving it a good clean. I have an insane amount so I imagine it is going to take me a while.
