1957년생인 Stephen DiRado는 인물, 다큐, 정물 등 다방면에서
다재다능한 활약을 보이는 포토그래퍼.
다년간 야간 촬영 작업에 몰두했던 그는 지난 1996년과 97년,
혜성이 지나가는 밤하늘의 눈부신 장관을 자신의 카메라에 멋지게 담아냈다.
긴 먼지 꼬리를 내뿜으며 지구에 근접했던 이 두 개의 대 혜성은
우주쇼의 장관을 연출하며 전세계 천문인들을 들뜨게 했던
햐쿠다케 혜성(Comet Hyakutake)과 헤일-밥 혜성(Comet Hale-Bopp).
특히, 금세기 최대의 혜성이라고 불리는 헤일-밥 혜성은 3000년의 주기를 가진
장주기 혜성이었다.
Stephen DiRado made these photographs using two cameras, a Nikon 6006 mounted with a 28mm, F2.8 lens and a Minolta CL rangefinder mounted with a 40 mm, F2 lens. The film of choice was Kodak TMAX 3200, exposed for 30 seconds with the lens aperture wide open. Along with this equipment he carried a tripod, cable release and a small flashlight (for walking around in unfamiliar areas). All these images were made away from city lights, on Martha's Vineyard or rural parts of Massachusetts.
