I just joined this community last night, and I'm just curious about some of the people here. I'm only 19 years old, but I'm more interested in all things space than anyone I've ever met. Just out of curiosity, what are people's ages in this forum?

Hiya,
I joined Emilys' broadcast+chat last night and at the end this forum got linked. Pretty cool site. Anyway, I'm from the Netherlands, 36yrs, married and 2 kids, have a degree in Computer Sciences, working in telecomms (Vodafone) and also studying to become a math teacher. And I like to photograph people and postprocess images Interest in space and astronomy since about 1981, dreaming about those voyager saturn images. Been actively observing as an amateur astromer in the 90s. In 2000 I was able to join the press for the STS-106 launch, which was quite an experience! Especially being inside the VAB and almost able to touch the shuttle and boosters.. About two years later I quit the whole astro hobby to focus on people photography, selling my telescope for more photo equipment and entering photography academy in 2002, finishing that in 2004 and (parttime) working as freelance photographer since then, focussing on people (from portraits to fine art nudes) Still, my interest was piqued with each news article of mars missions and cassini results. Last year I decided to revive the whole thing, became a planetary society member (again) and last month bought a new telescope. I guess old habits (or more: passions?) never die. I didn't know about this site until a day ago, but I'm already impressed by the high quality people are showing here, i hope I can add some value as well in the not too far future I have a website at http://www.marcof.net where I post my mixed-language (english and dutch) blog about everything and nothing (recently mostly about my revived astro hobby), show some photography work and offer Bibble Pro expertise services in the netherlands. cheers, Marco |
