365 Days of Photojournalism With Stormtroopers

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-good-to-have-friends dept.

Lanxon writes "Wired reports that for one French fan, the Stormtrooper has become an obsession. Stormtroopers 365 is a collection of wacky, witty, and artistic photographs that its creator Stéfan Le Dû has been adding to daily since 3 April 2009 when the project began. 'I got a new camera and I had some Stormtrooper figures sleeping in their blister packs for months. I wanted to start something a bit challenging on Flickr, and I had previously seen some awesome Star Wars toys pictures, and other "365" projects that I really liked,' he says. The two starring Stormtroopers — TK455 and TK479 — have run into cats, clocks, various household implements, and even a DeLorean sports car."

      I find your lack of artistic appreciation disturbing.

  4. Godwin's Law? by Rog7 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Excuse me for inadvertently invoking Godwin's Law on this so quickly, but when I read the title I first assumed this was some discovered historical footage of Nazi paramilitary assault troops.

    I guess after Jar-Jar and the endless shovelling of Star Wars merchandise, I've kind of filtered George Lucas' franchise right out of my head. Or maybe I just wish I had.

    Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.

    Thank you for sparing me that :) We've had "slashdot is dead" thread drift ever since the "what's this slashdot BS, I miss chips & dips" babble died down.

    A good education is a bit like a STD - it makes you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and gives you a desire to spread it.
