What Else Do You Do for Enjoyment?

Stephen...no I'm not talking sex. :)

I'll start...i LOVE photography. (Stephen's photo inspired me to share). I started taking photos with my daughter's birth and realized how much i loved it and how much of an eye i had for it. Here's just a couple of my best.

I'm an artist as well. Although, my 4 year old doesn't really allow a whole lot of action for that. Or the other.;) Drawing, writing, photography (black and white portraits). Which, Stephen, I had 4 years running of nothing but girls coming to me for nudes and lingerie for presents for the boyfriends/husbands. Jealous? I love to read: hard core graphic and romantic, weird?. I love movies, all kinds, especially horror. I think I may very well be a well-rounded person! That's also why the Weighty Issues started! Ha!

hey Marissa...you may want to reword your "hard core graphic" statement. we don't want Stephen to get all hot and bothered so early in the day. ;)

Hey Marissa! Lisa explicitly said "no I'm not talking about sex" and now I found you are giving out explicit details of your photography bisiness......DAMN I thought I was doing the ideal job but now I has to think again!

Lovely pics Lisa !

Love those shots, Lisa. Nice wide range of subjects!

As for me, I have a lot of hobbies (and more every day, it seems!).

Stuff I do:
- semi-pro fire spinner (picture below)
- multimedia artist (just donated a piece to the Interstitial Arts Foundation for their most recent auction)
- love to cook (and eat!)
- developed a small farm out at the house this summer (goats, turkeys, and rabbits so far)
- a little gardening
- homesteading/self-sufficiency stuff (make cheese and jam, can/preserve food, know how to spin fiber a little, learning how to make soap and tan hides, etc.)
- love to read, but don't seem to have much time for it these days
- love to watch movies (including foreign films), but don't have a good setup at the house yet

That looks a great way to keep warm Erica but did you know you'd set yer house on fire in the background.

Erica- I just showed my 4 year old daughter your picture. Priceless! Her eyes got huge and her jaw dropped. She said that it was the "Awesomest picture". :) I think you have a mini fan!

Great pictures Lisa!

I enjoy cooking, nothing fancy just rustic style comfort food and puddings.
I also enjoy eating my cooking with a nice glass of wine.
Actually I usually enjoy eating anyones cooking with a glass of wine.

In my spare time Im usually to be found with my head in the computer, I'm a bit of a technology geek, I write computer code specifically PERL, Javascript, XHTML and RubyOnTheRails, I mess about with photoshop and illustrator, make my computer do things it shouldn't be able to do. I also listen to music a lot. Jazz, funk, hip hop, rare groove, disco and the like.

Erica! Do you have a twin to help you do all that?

I like to garden and I like to cook. I especially enjoy the mountains of Utah...hiking in the summer and snowshoeing in the winter.

Wow that's beautiful Choice.

might i add that i also mountain bike and i know they have amazing trails in Utah!! :) although since i've made a real push to get my practice off the ground i have stopped biking. unfortunately even a minor crash that would cause a minor bruise, if in the wrong spot (i.e. my forearms for instance) would render me useless for a session and so i just can't take that risk right now. :(
