I just put together a Gakkenflex-clone camera and haven't felt so not-smart in my entire life! But it provided a big sense of accomplishment and I get lost in the worlds I see in the viewfinder. I'm trying to learn more about Lomography and photo editing.

I got the shutter working before I finished assembling it (but am skeptical that it's still working). And, while the film slipped a bit at first, I've got it winding properly now. (You have to manually advance the film after each photo unless you want a double-exposure.) The Isolette looks really cool! Have you tried asking around v/photography to see if you can get a hand with it?

I'm a fencer. I'm not very good at it, but it's social and it keeps me fit :)

Not really, unless it's a flick-shot which can sting a bit sometimes. There's enough protective equipment that you'd very rarely feel any pain.

I don't have any "interesting" hobbies really. My hobbies are pretty normal, I work on a lot of animation, art, and music projects.

Ah awesome I appreciate your interest into what I love! I recently finished a simple animation about the PayPal/Voat drama. Right now I am working on a project for a rap artist named Remy Jacuzzi and a lot of stuff for our new Space Ghost style interviews. We have interviews lined up much faster than I can animate right now, here's the proposal video. My main passion is trying to turn my cartoon Foxy Apartment into something truly fun, unique, fucked up, and entertaining. I used to try to share stuff like this on a different site but never seemed to get very far, I am hoping my animations and talents will be better appreciated by the Voat community. I love this place. :)

I love nature and the water. As such I do a lot of hiking and backpacking as well as just basic camping, and a lot of swimming and SCUBA. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite between backpacking and SCUBA because I love them both so much but they are both in completely different domains.
I am sad right now because I perforated my ear drum diving and can't actually dive for the next month. What actually make me so sad about it is that it cost me a great job opportunity to work in Florida for the rest of summer at a scout camp as a Divemaster. But then it would also be a job and not a hobby so I don't think it would count for the question

I have always dreamt of going on a big hike, that would be awesome and you're doing that right now. You're that person people can't reach because you're either below the surface or in the woods. When a hobby becomes your job you're doing something right!
I'm collecting documentaries by downloading and watching them or hearing them while playing video games.
I've also recently gotten stand up shows and switched between documentaries and stand up comedians. Jim Gaffigan, Ralphie May and Louis CK are among the funniest.
Well I said I collected, but honestly sometimes I watch them or hear them and then I just erase them for space. However, the comedian stand up bits I keep depending if I find it funny. Jim Gaffigan is always awesome to hear since his jokes are mostly funny, and Louis Ck is too hilarious to pass. Ralphie May is another win.
So yeah, mostly I just download and delete them after watching them.

I study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Its a little weird for a grown male in western society to go wrestle around on a mat with others for fun, but its a hell of a work out and there is a surprising amount of thought, strategy, patience and gamesmanship that goes into it.
