Swiss photographers Ursula Sprecher and Andi Cortellini have released a series of pictures -- and a corresponding book -- titled Hobby Buddies, which examine people who are pursuing a common cause or shared ideas.
They staged scenes that are both humorous and heartfelt, including groups like a diving club, astronomers, a scout troop and a children's chess club.
"I look at those waiting in line -- people of all kinds," Sprecher and Cortellini said in a joint statement. "A broad spectrum of society. What will they do after they’ve finished shopping -- how will they spend their Saturday? And what about Sunday? How was their week? How do they spend their free time?"
