AstroArtist of the Month - Federico Delfrati (2 of 4)
This work consists out of a 24 hours long performance about astronomical observation. Within the four walls of a hotel room, I followed for 24 hours the movement of the star ‘Vega' in the sky with the help of a computerized telescope (telescopes that can be programmed to lock on and follow any celestial body for as long as needed).
Using the telescope as a tool to spot where Vega would be at any given moment i marked the star's path around me in the room with post-its.
Each post-it contained the time of the day/night and the degree of its angle...

Here are a couple recent works in the realm of landscape photography, these were created by blending multiple exposures. Waimanu Valley...

Go to Lance Page's Part II - Ride the Sky Go to Lance Page's Part IV - Moving Forward Part III: The Fire Within After finishing some work on a documentary project through the summer in 2014, I found myself with some free time and a burning desire to produce another time-lapse film. The whole year I felt like the island I grew up on was calling to me, I swear I looked at the clock at 8:08 every single day. It had been three years since I visited back home to the Big Island of Hawaii, so I decided...

Go to Lance Page's Part I - Introduction Go to Lance Page's Part III - The Fire Within Part II - Ride the Sky In early 2014 I was exploring one of my favorite camping locations up on Mount Laguna which is just an hour drive east of San Diego. From the road I noticed a tree that was perched at the edge of a big forest ravine that had been burnt in a forest fire. The tree was charred black with jagged sharp branches and it seemed to stand out among the other scorched trees and shrub. It's backdrop...
