Chris's Interests
|
| General | Photography - since I went digital, I've become a lot more interested in photography. And my Flickr habit is getting a bit out of hand.
I play music as well as listening to it. My main instrument is electric bass, but I also play keyboards, Chapman Stick and electric guitar. Musical influences range from Jaco P, Geddy Lee, Mark King and Tony Levin to - well, just about anything I hear, really...
Home cinema. I want my DVDs!
Drawing - I don't do as much as I used to. But there again, I don't seem to have as much spare time as I used to.
Birdwatching: I've been in the RSPB for nearly 30 years.
Mountain biking - trying to keep fit.
Skiing - why I'm trying to keep fit.
Cookery - I'm pretty good, but it doesn't help the last two hobbies much. | | Music | The first album I bought was "Pictures at an Exhibition" by ELP. I was twelve.

About me:
Chris is just some guy, you know?
|
Who I'd like to meet:
People into the same sorts of things I am. Yeah, I know, that's what everyone says, but I've seen that eyes-glazing-over look from time to time! So, the big question is: do you like the stuff I like?
