Hobbies

This page is about my hobbies. I seem to have many hobbies, and no time to indulge in them, particularly in recent years. It don’t help that I am a master of “The unfinished project”
Like many people who have a web page, computers in general feature largely in my life, both at work and at home, so we’ll skip them and move on to other things


Model Making
There is a saying “The difference between Men and Boys is only the price of their toys”. When I was younger, I used to build model aeroplanes, I still do, just on a slightly larger scale!

Robotics
The use of remote control, and computers at work has spilled over into my hobbies. I have build several simple “Robots”, which I suppose, is the logical amalgamation of my work, computers and model making.

Photography
I used to be a very keen amateur photographer, even doing my own developing and printing. I don’t have the time for that anymore, but I still try to carry a camera with me all the time. I mostly use my digital camera now, but there are times when I still prefer the versatility of film. Some of my photos can be found under the ‘Photo Gallery’ menu at the top of the page.

Painting
I’ve recently tried my hand at oil painting and the painting page shows some of my first efforts. I seem to have such a gap between doing each painting, that each time feels like the first time.. I wonder if I’ll EVER get past the “beginner” stage?!?!
