What's a Hobby? #MFRWauthor Blog Challenge

This is probably going to be a short and sweet post! I actually don't have time for hobbies. Besides writing and a part-time job plus all the stuff you have to do to survive, I can't say that I have a serious hobby.

I've always enjoyed arts and crafts. Many years ago, I did a number of crafts and when I worked in a library, I had craft workshops. Now I would be lucky to remember how to do most of them. LOL. I actually had my own ceramic kiln ions ago. And once I had a load of house plants. Now I'm down to only a couple.

I would say my "hobby" now is photography and graphic design. I have a Canon camera that I prefer to use rather than my phone. I have tons of photographs and stock photos that I use in Photoshop and different programs to create memes and fun stuff. I've made some simple book covers for myself and for a few friends. I find working with the photos and fonts fun and very relaxing.

Also I've played with the new app Prisma to turn photos into paintings. With just a click, you can turn your picture into a painting. I actually found out about this on Twitter when I saw a tweet by Russell Crowe with photos he'd done. I thought at first he's a really talented artist. Then I saw where others responded with photo/paintings of their own and they were all using this app. The only negative thing is that it only makes a square picture. I haven't found any way to resize the picture. I'll post some of my photos before and after Prisma.
