Highways and Byways:
Days in the Sun

By Maik Strosahl

A couple of months ago, I read an article about an 8-year-exposure photograph that was published by the University of Hertfordshire Press Office.
    In 2012, a simple camera made from an aluminum beer can, duct tape, and light-sensitive photographic paper was attached, facing skyward, to the side of the University of Hertfordshire’s Bayfordbury Observatory. Fine arts student Regina Valkenborgh placed it there and then forgot about it. Eight years and one month later it was found, revealing an image tracing eight years’ worth of solar paths across the sky.
