Inspired by the Battlefront 2 trailer that came out a while ago, I decided to do a shot with everyone’s favorite BA, Darth Maul. Of course, I didn’t do a shot for shot recreation. Personally, I like my iteration better, simply because DM never struck me as a “throw your lightsaber from 20ft away kind of guy”, but someone who throws himself at hordes of enemies and just go nuts.

I’d also like to advertise that the secret project that I had been working on in September is finally out! I was asked by the Exclu Design Collective to do a new set of pictures for Exclu Issue 6. I’ll attach a link where you can find my work along with shots from other incredibly talented toy photographers from around the community.

I quite like the way the back of this sloe bug (Dolycoris baccarum) is divided into different-coloured sectors.
Also, doesn't that face look friendly?

"The baobab is a prehistoric species which predates both mankind and the splitting of the continents over 200 million years ago. Native to the African savannah where the climate is extremely dry and arid, it is a symbol of life and positivity in a landscape where little else can thrive. Over time, the Baobab has adapted to its environment. It is a succulent, which means that during the rainy season it absorbs and stores water in its vast trunk, enabling it to produce a nutrient-dense fruit in the dry season when all around is dry and arid. This is how it became known as "The Tree of Life"." This was taken from aduna.com/pages/the-baobab-tree
The Baobab has also been called the upside down tree since without leaves it looks like the roots are on top.

Sector 17 | The heart of the city
A camera allows you to dream. It allows you to focus on the things you like about the time and space you inhabit. In my recent work on Chandigarh, I have sought to capture the essence of the city for future generations who will live or pass through it. When I migrated here in the late seventies, Chandigarh was a relaxed, laid back town. Time moved languidly and slowly during those days. It is now a bustling, energetic city, which has fortunately retained the charm and beauty of its early years. There are very few cities in India, which can be compared with Chandigarh, because there are very few cities, which were entirely built according to a master plan by an architect of the stature of Le Corbusier. The complex interplay of shadows and light in Le Corbusier's architecture is particularly enthralling to me as a photographer. I view a camera as a receptacle of light. But imagining a great architect conceiving and building a city as a receptacle of light is an exhilarating vision for me. Presently I am working on documenting this light as it falls on the stirring straight lines and open spaces of Chandigarh.
Chandigarh has retained the rigid design and beauty of Corbusier's art. Human habitation and nature exists in harmony in the city. In the future this city, like every other city, will change in ways we cannot fathom at the moment. In my work I have sought to follow Leo Tolstoy's dictum: "In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you". I have stopped for a moment. I have ceased my work. I am looking around. I would like to share what I see through the viewfinder of my camera. The human eye has a 50mm angle of view. But photography offers multiple angles of view stretching from ultra wide to ultra telephoto. I view these photographs as my homage to the beautiful city, which has given me shelter for over three decades.

Behind the sector of guards was the quartermaster and gun room. That's where the mutineers were kept. It is the sector most punished and where more signs of violence find.

D-Day
When A-Company, 1st Battalion, 116th Infantry of the 29th "Blue & Grey" division landed here (an old Virginia National Guard Unit with a long tradition harking back to Stonewall Jackson's Brigade) it was "H-Hour" on D-Day: june 6, 1944: 06.30 hour. They were coming in exactly on the right spot opposite the draw (a lot of units in other sectors drifted away from their designated areas due to the strong current) in six Royal Navy LCA assault boats. The soldiers could see the German bunkers in the distance and the beach seemed to be untouched by the preliminary bombardments. They had to cross a large stretch of beach (some 250 metres) towards the Vierville draw. The germans waited until the landing craft were all empty and then opened fire with their MG 42's, mortars, and guns.
It was carnage. A-Company was virtually wiped out within the first minutes of the landing; no one knows exactly what happened with the 30 men in LCA 1015 but all of them were killed, and most of their bodies were found on the beach, commanding officer captain Taylor Fellers among them. In fact all all but one officers were killed in action within the first minutes, as were more then half of the soldiers and NCO's. Those who did survive the initial onslaught could do little more then stay in the water or press them self against the sand hanging on to their lifes. The shingle bank offered a little bit of protection to the happy few which made it that far, but most survivors had to stay in the water, creeping forward with the rising tide.
Incredible acts of heroism were performed by men trying to help their wounded comrades out of the water only to see them cut down by enemy fire or get shot themselfes. A-Company was reduced from an assault company to a small rescue party within 15 minutes. The follow up troops of the second wave didn't fare much better and subsequent waves landed more to the east of this WN where resistance was less heavy.
Among the casualties in A-company were 19 men from Bedford, VA. Bedford’s population in 1944 was about 3,200, and proportionally the Bedford community suffered the nation’s most severe D-Day losses.
All in all the US forces on Omaha beach lost some 2500 men in a couple of hours, the same losses as 13 years of fighting in Afghanistan !
Note: Some Ranger units also landed here, and this was the inspiration for the famous first scene of the 1998 movie "Saving Private Ryan".
