HobbyBuddies: Portraits of unusual group hobbies you never knew existed

HobbyBuddies are cute portraits of unusual group hobbies you never knew existed, captured by Basel-based photographers Ursula Sprecher and Andi Cortellini. It seems to us that the Slovenian Society of Roasted Potato Lovers would certainly feel at home in the company of the Poodle Lovers' Club and the Butchers' Society!

It's nice if our interests are similar to the interests of our friends and acquaintances. But sometimes it's not that easy: if they fascinate you camping trailers, orchids, poodles are you an avid Star Wars fan, there are probably fewer people like you in your area. Various associations and clubs are therefore the only possibility to share your favorite hobbies with other enthusiasts.
