I have to do a lot of writing in my work, and like Tom H above, I like using fountain pens. I guess at this point I would have to confess that I am a collector, because I have quite a few pens. It is another Gear Acquisition Syndrome area, and my favorite pens were made by the British company Conway Stewart from the 1930s to the 1950s.

Antique airplanes is one of my great loves, although I'm not sure many would call it creative. Sometimes flying has to be creative, and always enjoyable. My favorite flying machine is attached.
My Wife and I enjoy cooking, and do things somewhat differently from each other. We often create new dishes.
Gardening - mine to eat, hers for beauty.

Got any recommendations? I'm too fussy--I always give up on SF by page 25...

On the creative front, besides photography?
One would be writing (with and without fountain pens), and location recording of music (which I don't do much of any more). On a more recreational than creative tangent, I'm deeply into cycling (but two of my three bicycles were largely assembled with components of my choosing, so I guess there's a bit of creative content there).
Quite a few wonderful entries in this thread. Keep 'em coming.

Great, just don't picture this old fossil!!!
Viso works great with the Bessa T, try to pick up a top quality enlarging lens
such as an El Nikkor. 100mm or so, they are quite cheap and make great macro lenses.

Music here too. I've got a tiny space in the basement to record in. I spent much of the 80's in bands, but music is a solitary hobby these days.
Rather surprising how many professional photographers I know cook- there certainly is something similar yet different enough in the two. I cook by necessity, but from time to time really enjoy it.

Digital equivalent in cooking is to buy a ready- meal and zap it in the microwave!

I'm a writer (main source of income!) and a professional musician (have two albums under my belt), though I quit my band a couple of months ago to focus on Jazz. LIke Ron (Netherlands), I'm playing Manouche, or Gypsy Jazz ala Django.

My M5s need red dots!
Well... In my twenties, I was a published writer in my native country of Guatemala. Four collections of short stories. I'm listed as a writer in a few websites and even made it to the history of Guatemalan literature.
I stopped writing... for a while. There's a handful of projects waiting for developing.
Otherwise, I cook, study the guitar (playing badly) and German. And I like eating! Isn't that creative?

Music is the big one for me (although I paint and draw a bit too, generally when I get a little burnt out on photography but still feel the need to make pictures). I wouldn't say I play anything all that well, but give me an instrument and I'll start picking out a tune sooner or later. I currently have a trumpet, a couple keyboards/synths (no space for a real piano ), mandolin, 2 guitars (steel string and classical), native american flute, didgeridoo, a couple harmonicas and a ukulele. And I'm sure I left out something.

For my part, it's writting... I'm actually working on a motion picture screenplay ... It takes almost all my spare time... It's sure that I keep shooting some pictures... But this screenplay is really important for me... Some person would be interrested to produce it... In Quebec, Canada, is not always easy to make movies. We are really poor and dependant on the goverment for these projects...
My other hobby became actually my job... I'm an editor. I work in the television and film industry. Right now I'm working for film and television show trailer for the TV. Great job... But in these dark economical times, it's not always pink. The TV stations are starving and the job became more and more rare... We manage to survive... We need money to shoot film, right?
My typical day is a long walk, spend some film, slow down and take a glass of wine with my pen and my paper in a nice, quiet and expensive restaurant. In the weekend, they have jazz musician that play some nice music... It help me write...
I also really enjoy to read books and... screeplay... I love to watch movies...

Writing and walking.
I like being on the move, out there doing something, seeing things, being my own little pioneer going where well everybody has been before but it's fun. A great way to exercise and explore, also gets you to suss out locations that not many others see because they're hidden from the road.
Writing, well, again it's just another way of expressing myself, maybe another little escape hatch from the rest of the world at the end of the day.
Sometimes it's a shame to wake from a good dream, so I try to do things that are as surreal but as invigorating as a dream, take myself places that the everyday and mundane can't touch -- either by walking in the sticks, immersing myself in some quirky urban scene or by writing about something fantastical.
It makes the world quite a good place when you switch off the telly and pay less attention to every second and minute of the news

Hi Roger - really enjoy the books you have written -Thanks!
I play the piano and play wheelchair tennis - there's more art in tennis than brawn - luckily my favourite thing away from work is still photography even though I make my living from photography
