Photography
My love of travel inspired a love of photography - it is so much fun to save a record of where you have been! While I can't say that I'm an amazing photographer, I've had the benefit of being in the right place at the right time a few times and occasionally get a few shots that I think are special.
Most of my best shots are on my deviantART site at http://samtihen.deviantart.com.
As of right now, I'm using a Nikon D40 with a 18-55mm f/3.5 and a 55-200mm f/4. It isn't great equipment, but it is fairly small and cheap enough that I don't fear breaking it like I would with some of the more expensive lenses.
