I have a few:<p>- Photography: I have been interested in photography since I was a teenager. I strictly shoot film in 35mm or medium format. I also process my own B&amp;W film although I&#x27;m not set up for it at the moment.<p>- Writing: I&#x27;ve maintained my blog for close to five years now. Not a ton of articles or traffic but it&#x27;s a creative outlet for writing.<p>- Mushroom Hunting: I like to hunt for mushrooms and attempt to identify them. I combine this with photography and have lots of photos of mushrooms. If anyone is interested in doing this, buy the books &quot;All That The Rain Brings and More&quot; and &quot;Mushrooms Demystified&quot; by David Arora.<p>- Electronics: I recently picked up a nice soldering station and a bunch of parts to make various circuits that I have been playing with the idea of making in my head.<p>- Making Games: I like to make 2d games with Godot. I recently participated in a game jam for the first time.

Recently picked up a GoPro and been a really quick and easy way to express creativity! I find myself thinking &quot;I wonder if I could do a time lapse here&quot; or &quot;this would be fun to see in slow-mo&quot;.<p>I&#x27;ve by no means been a perfectionist about editing, and I think that contributes a lot to having fun with it. It kind of reminds me of how I first felt learning how to program, making one-off things that I could write terrible code in and throw away, which seems harder for me to do as of late.
