Cedric Delsaux is a French commercial photographer who attracted a lot of attention with his really cool Star Wars themed series. He integrated characters of the saga in typical parisian suburbia - empty parking lots, projects, public buildings and other urban battlegrounds - infusing a sense of intergalactic mystery and adventure to what would otherwise be totally depressing places. It's pretty much the literal illustration of the day dreams of most kids who grew up with Han, Luke and Chewie. As an adult and a photographer I find still being able to see the world around us as an enchanted place priceless. Takes a lot of hard work to preserve that kind of freshness - a wild imagination and not too much reading the news probably help too. As good old Nietzsche said: "A man’s maturity: that is to have rediscovered the seriousness he possessed as a child at play".
