First. knife / sword making is awesome. I would love to see some examples of your work!

For me, my hobby isn't nearly as... "cool". I'm a Photography / Digital Media junkie. I'm not talking about the garbage meme kind of stuff. I love photography, and I love Photo Manipulation. Here are some of the types of things that I have done.

This is a Darkfield Illumination Project I did in College. It is still to this day one of my absolute favorite Photos I have ever taken. There is no manipulation to this image. Just 4 props and a camera.


This is a Still Life that I did. Vintage Instruments (I'm a musician, that is my 1956 Danelectro, and my very first Bass Guitar ever)


This was a shot that I talked the Bride and Groom into.


This is a Photo Manip I did of a montage of shots I took over a summer. If I were to do this again, I would probably change out the pic I used in the back, and try and find something a little closer to the foreground subject matter.


This is a Digital Piece I did. It's a based on my music room in the basement. I took photos of all the pieces in the picture (except for the outside) and re-created them digitally, and gave it an off kilter perspective. It started out as an accident, but then I really liked the perspective being off, and just went with it.


I also do advertising, and logo work for my employer, so sometimes I get to mix my hobby with my business. I'm also a Musician, I was in a band that achieved marginal regional success, and released a studio album before we sort of... disbanded during the second album. I love music.
