I think being creative and working with your hands translates well to other mediums, once you can work well with your hands with one thing, it is easier to pick up other things. There is a lot of photographers in the group, might make it easier to find and want to capture the beauty we see.
The odds are that we would try and do a lot more if we had the time. I need to have two or three of me running around just to do half of what I want to do.
