This statue always makes me think of Daedalus (and by extention "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"), but it is really a tribute to a UVa student (James Rogers McConnell, a member of the Sevens) who was killed in the air, fighting in WWI. If you look, the subject is wearing a leather cap like WWI bombers wore, even though the rest of the statue is classical in design. This is one of my favorite things at the University... it's classic, thrilling, haunting, and so meaningful. The inscription reads "Soaring like an eagle to new heavens of valor and devotion."

Mark Carey's Star Wars action figure, which still smells very bit as good now as it did back in the day (TIE Fighter Pilots are made from a certain plastic that has a very distinctive aroma!). This was a long exposure shot so as to pick up the detail, but without the interference of the flash which was making the figure appear green.
