DAR-ling of the Week, Chris Faris
Tell us the things you’re most passionate about.
Astronomy, technology and science.
Seeing Saturn’s rings with my own eyes for the first time. My dad bought a basic refractor telescope one day. He set it up and I got to see Saturn and its moons. I got hooked after that. I’ve always had a proclivity for science. It’s fascinating to figure out where we are and how we are in the universe.
I still game on my computer. I still build and upgrade it when I can. I like strategy games, first-person shooter, action, RPGs — I’m currently playing “Helldiver 2.” I don’t like board games, though. I never quite got the feel for those.
I did get heavily into drone photography. Proudest achievement is some of my drone photography — I have some bangers. I do a lot of landscape, urban or nature.
