And since I spend 1 week at "home" every 2-3 months, I would never have any hobbies. Usually I tend to spend most of my hometime during "chores" and other stuff I cant get done while on the road.
Its a hobby that I have picked up while driving 48 states, because I am not the person to just sit in my truck and play video games or watch television while trapped somewhere due to a layover. It has made this life on the road somewhat more bearable. -
I used the old Pentax 1000 35mm with upwards of 200mm lenses when necessary. A good camera for it's day. It's too bad no one makes a digital equivalent.
I actually include camera picture taking as a form of hobby, but it is not a main focus of my life. One could argue that I prefer a quality video camera instead. Im working on acquiring another one which will be pretty pricey.
The reason for this is I am excessively dissatisfied with smart phone cameras. They are cute and try hard but in the end, just too tiny.
Finally I leave you with a smile on this concept.
Imagine a day in Williamsburg, a VERY high end situation. Pa loads up on the cameras as if he is going to battle which he is.
Hands me a little tiny disposible 110 film camera about the size of say a laptop battery and all the personality of one.
I finally told him WTF am I supposed to do with this?
His eyebrows disappeared as he processed the contexually correct statement.
Took him days to stop laughing which is exceedingly rare for that old coot.... -
Do you have that much?Mid-May Trucker Thanks this. -
OP, rent a car! Your company would probably rather pay this than a plane ticket anyway, and I would hope they trust you to drive a thousand miles without a problem. Heck, rent a car and don't go home! If you're a photographer head to the nearest NP with a $40 tent from Walmart.
I don't get the problem either. This job forces you to be creative.......so be creative.dunchues Thanks this. -
You dont really think a high school kid working part time like a dog for UPS as a package handler really cares if that package makes it to you in one piece do you?Last edited: Sep 10, 2019
