Fitness, Photography, gardening
Fitness is the puzzle of biology, physics, and habit formation. I view fitness less as chore and more as human engineering. i enjoy physical fitness because of the benefits of how I feel after doing it.
Photography: I see it in terms of the rule of thirds, leading lines, and how the golden hour completely changes the mood of the landscape.
Gardening on the other hand grounds me mostly because it runs on timeline that cannot be optimized or rushed see gardening as the act of balancing the ecosystems. In gardening they is trial and error and there is something deeply rewarding after you had succeeded.
