Golfer to Photographer, saying hello to PT

4 years 7 months ago #656854 by Jon East
2 months ago, I found out I have some health issues that will pull me out of my beloved sport of golf.  Not completely, however I can't play it like I used to.  My wife recommended for me to get a new hobby.  Then she brought up photography.  My father was into photography when I was a kid.  So here I go!  I bought a Sony A7R and a 50mm lens.  Then to get my ass moving, my wife got me into a photography meet up group, which is how I heard of this site.  

Not sure what else to say.  Thrilled to be here.  

-Jon

Hello, John! Is it your hobby or a job now? :-) my husband had troubles after golf too, he tried to do yoga, not believing actually, but now he's just happy to do it, it helped with a lot of problems with health. You may try it as well :-)
