Hobbies

  • Photography
    As I walk, hike or generally get around town, I'm always looking for colourful things to photograph.
  • Hiking
    My favourite hobby is hiking. It's great exercise, you meet a lot of interesting people, you can get some great photos, and all it really requires is some good shoes and a sense of adventure. And the best part is that it can cost little or nothing to enjoy.
