I've always loved flashlights. Yes FLASHLIGHTS with an A!!! Anyway, apparently not many people share my rather niche interest.

So I ask you, fellow Lemmites, what are your hobbies and weird obsessions that you can ramble on about for hours?

Please feel free to ramble on about your passions here. Maybe you'll find some likeminded individuals!

I, like many of you I'm sure, am an avid collector of hobbies. Recently I've been into Analog Photography. Partly because I like the old machines involved and also because of the creativity and expression of making pictures.

One might ask: 'why not use a digital camera? It's so much easier, potentially cheaper and technically "better".'

To me it's like painting instead of drawing, maybe similar but also very different. One is not better than the other and you will get different results.

I post here on [email protected] but mostly on pixelfed.

Have you seen the new LEGO Polaroid set?
