Ok... I'll bit on this one.  What are some favorites of yours?  Have you explored into the espresso world?  My wife and I were shopping for a comforter a few weeks ago and ended up in Nordstroms and in this store they had a large cafe tasting set up for these Nespresso brewers.  They must have had 20-30 different flavors.  I tasted a few of them and found a liking to them.  I didn't buy one of these machines but did enjoy the flavor.  

Thank you for making PhotographyTalk.com your photography community of choice.

Coffee from expresso machines are the best. But even better is the not so full roast. It is not bitter and I can drink it without sugar, where I normally have two.

My La Pavoni lever espresso machine is on all day, I must have pulled 10,000 espressos through it over the 15 years I've had it! I collect espresso cups from around the world on my travels. Wife rolls her eyes at the ceiling and thinks I'm crazy.

Took up painting at 40. My photography was driven by gathering reference for my paintings. Now my photography is getting noticed. Many of my hobbies or interests have become  much much more! Just these two have lead to taking tours to Africa. Not exactly 'hobbies' but enjoying  it all the same!

I enjoy restoring my '67 Ford Mustang in my garage.  It's been a 7 year project for me.  My garage is a mess and the car looks more like a puzzle of scattered parts than a classic.  But it's fun, and it keeps me busy when I have spare time.

I love some of these answer's! Mountain biking? Fishing? Gardening? Golf? I even got a pretty good one, shooting? Actually I guess that can happen. I corresponded with a guy from Penn that when his wife was gone set up his shooting bench in the bedroom and shot at target's out the balcony door!

I don't much time for hobbies between running my business where my team does trade only Graphic design and Digital Imaging for other pro's but I try and find time for Reading, Music + I have just started recording my first podcast.
