I’m trying to convert my wife, but she is a purpose walker and it’s a hard sell.

For me, it is travel and coffee. The cameras typically go with me wherever I go on weekends. Depending on where I am going, I with take the M10-R or the CL (APS-C) Or possibly both.

For me photography is an accompaniment to being nosy and sentimental. I like the little memories filed away to be called up and remembered. I can go back a quarter century and review my foolishness and enjoy it again. Mulege, BCS, Mexico all over again. How sweet it is. These are not Mulege, but are Mexico, mostly Patzcuaro.

I made several reflector telescopes. Had the mirror finish (aluminum deposited in a vacuum) made from an outside source.

Vintage camp stoves (Svea, Optimus, Primus), my 1978 BMW R80/7 bike, small camera collection. Past hobbies included bicycling, beer brewing, and darkroom(!). Also enjoy making good coffee and rustic bread.

Vintage camp stoves are very cool! My only gear of this type is modern, but I have the Skotti camp grill and it seems rather good so far, having only used it once. It definitely gets hot enough to sear meat.

I have an old Svea from the 70's and a recent all fuels Primus. If the world comes to an end I can brew coffee. That's a comfort.

Did you ever think that we are just a glorified bunch of pack rats?? LMAO

Colorado isn't known for it's sharp dressers, and while much money is spent on clothing, it's mostly done at outdoor/adventure types of places such as North Face, Columbia, Patagonia, Fjallraven, Mont Bell, Burton, Arcteryx, etc, etc! I wonder if the late Bill Cunningham would have been aghast.

It's not packratting if it still fits into a small space, right? My wife doesn't allow me to accumulate stuff in a way that edges into our space. That's probably good for me...

I know this is going to sound crazy, but I collect coolers. You know, ice chests, the kind you use when you go camping or on a picnic. I have a couple of vintage ones that date back to the late 50's. I have giant ones, big ones, small ones, micro size ones. All different types of brands, but especially Igloo Coolers, made here in Texas. I find them at thrift stores and garage sales. I take them home and refurbish them and add them to my collection, which is around two dozen or so. I started this about 10 years ago. My wife thinks I have lost my mind.

The best camera is one that still works!
We call them Eskies here in OZ and our Kiwi brothers and sisters across the ditch call them Chilly Bins. I think that's a fine hobby you have there! 🙂
