So, is photography your most expensive hobby?
Photography is by far my most expensive hobby. I have been trying to start my own small business for years. I focused on macro and landscape for yrs, when Dslr were not available, even at my University. Now I am getting into newborns and babies. Weddings are great, but I am so excited to do some shoots with those adorable little angels and maternity photos. Photography is my passion, not just a hobby.
My father ended up after flipping boats with a 48 Ft. Fountain that we took on Poker Runs and so many other wonderful adventures. I agree that's an expensive hobby, but I can't afford that one just yet.
I sure do miss him.For me it is the most expensive passion and hobby. I love it and know I will succeed one day. It's just going to take some time.
It is what it is.

Also have 56 gibson les paul (original), prs custom 22 1999. Fender 57 tube amp original. Music is fun.
I'd love to have a classic les paul like that. And nothing beats that old Fender tube sound. The Taylor isn't my style, but it is a nice guitar. I think the Martin/Taylor feud is right up there with Mac/PC and Nikon/Canon
