I bought a new camera recently for a trip to Bhutan. I ended up getting a Nikon Zf which is great for shooting in full manual mode. There are some exceptional third party manual focus lenses.
It’s all very tactile and gets me out into the world. I really treasure the photos from it in a way I never did with smartphone photos. It’s also really nice to just leave the phone at home.
Sometimes I go for photo walks with a friend. We play with light and composition and just generally have a great time being present and creative.

Making things, I made my daughters wooden practice swords, two-handed claymores. Now for Christmas I always make something. This year was cross-body bags with elaborate patterns. Fun for me, I’m just glad they put up with the eccentric choices.

I spend an inordinate amount of time reading (fiction) when I'm not at work. always a nice break from anything else I'm doing.

MORE COMPUTER SCREEN!
Seriously, I just cannot get enough of making things. Hardware, software, CAD, whatever, I just love making stuff. The more I can make, the better.
I can't get enough of computers, either. I love it.

Hand tool woodworking. Zero screens needed. All you need is about a 8x8 foot space that you can get messy.
